Lace up your running shoes for the annual Strawberry Run, a delightful 5-mile loop race set for Saturday, June 27, 2026, in the charming town of South Berwick, Maine. Kicking off from the Marshwood Great Works School at 49 Academy Street, this race is more than just a competition; it's a cherished community tradition held in conjunction with the vibrant South Berwick Strawberry Festival. Participants not only enjoy a invigorating morning but also contribute to a great cause, as all proceeds directly benefit the South Berwick Recreation Department, supporting affordable youth programming in the community.

The scenic 5-mile course guides runners through the heart of downtown South Berwick, offering picturesque views as you navigate past local landmarks like the Central School on a well-marked loop. Typical race day conditions in late June bring highs around 80°F and lows around 58°F, with a minimal 17% chance of precipitation, creating a pleasant atmosphere for your run. Finishing back at the Marshwood Great Works School, you'll be perfectly positioned to join the post-race festivities, soaking in the lively ambiance of the Strawberry Festival with its artisans, entertainment, and, of course, plenty of delicious strawberry treats. Detailed course maps are available to help you prepare for this engaging and community-focused event.
