Lace up for the annual Sea of Blue 5K and 10K, a heartfelt and scenic race scheduled for April 25, 2026, in the charming coastal town of Northeast Harbor, Maine. This beloved event, which also includes a 2-mile walk, is dedicated to raising autism awareness and funds for local autism organizations, embodying a strong community spirit that welcomes both seasoned runners and families, including their canine companions. Starting and finishing at the welcoming Neighborhood House, participants embark on a picturesque journey through Northeast Harbor, offering beautiful views of the water.

The course itself features stunning coastal scenery, winding along routes around Northeast Harbor, and while offering beautiful vistas, runners should be prepared for some hills along the way, adding a rewarding challenge to the experience. Typical race day conditions in late April bring pleasant highs around 56°F and lows around 35°F, with an 18% chance of precipitation, creating invigorating running weather. This rain-or-shine event promises a memorable run amidst the awakening spring landscape of coastal Maine.

More than just a race, the Sea of Blue 5K and 10K is a vibrant community gathering. Participants can expect a professionally timed event with awards and prizes, as well as complimentary refreshments at the finish line. Beyond the race, the event often features raffles and a silent auction, further contributing to its fundraising efforts and lively atmosphere. Originating from a high school senior project, the race has grown significantly, making it a truly unique and impactful event in the Downeast community.
