Lace up for the 4th Annual Tina White Memorial 5K Run/Walk, a heartfelt event taking place on July 18, 2026, in Auburn, ME. This inspiring 5K journey invites runners and walkers to navigate the picturesque 100-acre property of East Auburn Baptist Church, offering a unique blend of challenging and enjoyable terrain. The course features a dynamic mix of hills, turns, and flat sections, with surfaces varying between dirt, gravel, grass, and pavement, ensuring an engaging experience for all participants. Hydration will be readily available at a water station positioned along the route to support your efforts.

More than just a race, this event is a vibrant tribute to Tina White, a beloved community member whose legacy of love and service continues to inspire. Proceeds from the 5K support Safe Families of Maine, an organization dedicated to providing temporary, safe homes for children and supporting families, a cause that was dear to Tina's heart. This year, a portion of the profits will also aid in the recovery of Tina's son, Gavin White, following a recent tragic accident.

The race kicks off and concludes in the convenient parking lot of East Auburn Baptist Church, fostering a welcoming and community-focused atmosphere. Typical race day conditions in mid-July often bring comfortable highs around 79°F and lows near 60°F, with an approximately 18% chance of precipitation. Top finishers will be celebrated with trophies and prizes for overall male and female champions, as well as awards for age group winners, and a $100 cash prize awaits anyone setting a new course record. Join fellow runners and walkers for a memorable event that honors a cherished life and supports vital community initiatives.
