Feed ME 5k Walk to End Hunger

Lace up your walking shoes for the annual Feed ME 5k Walk to End Hunger, a heartwarming event dedicated to making a tangible difference in the fight against food insecurity across Maine. Taking place on Saturday, April 25, 2026, in Augusta, this 3-mile walk offers a picturesque journey along the scenic Kennebec Valley Rail Trail, starting and finishing at Capitol Park (YMCA side). The course is ideal for participants of all ages and abilities, welcoming both speed walkers and those who prefer a leisurely pace, with the added bonus of allowing leashed dogs to join the fun. You can also participate virtually until May 31, 2026, if you can't make it to Augusta on race day.

Beyond the beautiful scenery, the Feed ME 5k stands out for its impactful mission. This annual event, sponsored by Maine State Credit Union since 2005, has a proud history of raising over $1 million for local hunger relief organizations. Every step you take, whether in person or virtually, directly supports this cause, as 100% of the proceeds are directed to local food banks and pantries throughout Maine. Participants receive a commemorative t-shirt with their registration, a token of appreciation for contributing to such a vital community effort.

Prepare for typical race day conditions in late April, with historical weather data suggesting pleasant highs around 59°F and lows near 39°F, accompanied by a modest 15% chance of precipitation. This makes for comfortable walking weather as you contribute to a meaningful cause. Join fellow community members on April 25, 2026, in Augusta to enjoy the fresh air, beautiful trail, and the profound satisfaction of helping to end hunger in Maine.
