One in Five 5K

Lace up for a meaningful stride at the One in Five 5K, returning for its 15th annual edition on Sunday, April 26th, 2026, in Oakland, Maine. This inspiring 3.1-mile event is more than just a race; it's a powerful statement and a vital fundraiser for the Sexual Assault Crisis & Support Center, with 100% of the proceeds directly benefiting survivors of sexual abuse in Kennebec and Somerset counties. The race takes place during Sexual Assault Awareness Month, drawing attention to the sobering statistic that one in five people in Maine have been affected by sexual violence.

The course offers a community-focused experience, guiding runners and walkers through FirstPark in Oakland. The start and finish lines are conveniently located at the Central Maine Ford Parking Lot, providing an accessible and straightforward route. While specific elevation details are not provided, the setting within a business park suggests a generally flat and paved terrain, ideal for all ability levels. Friendly, leashed dogs and strollers are welcome, making this a truly inclusive and family-friendly event.

Typical race day conditions in late April in Oakland, Maine, see highs around 59°F and lows around 37°F, with a moderate 16% chance of precipitation, offering pleasant spring running weather. Packet pickup options include convenient pre-race opportunities at the Sexual Assault Crisis & Support Center in Winthrop and Central Maine Ford Parking Lot in Oakland, as well as same-day pickup. For those unable to attend in person, a virtual race option is also available, extending participation through May 10th.
