Reiche International 5K - Portland, Maine - Running

The Reiche International 5K is a Running race in Portland, Maine consisting of a 5K.

This year's theme: The World of Witches, Wizards & Magic Creatures!

Summon your inner Hermione, Harry, Merlin or Samantha and don your favorite cape, cloak or robe to this beloved community event.

Join us for a beautiful 5 kilometer run through Portland's scenic West End neighborhood at the peak of the Fall season. The race supports Maine's most ethnically diverse elementary school, Reiche Community School, by funding enrichment programs aimed at physical activity and inclusion.

We will again feature a centipede division-open to three or more closely attached runners.

As always, participants are invited to wear a costume and walkers are welcome!

The race starts and ends at Reiche Community School. The well-marked single loop course begins on Brackett Street and continues through the streets of the West End including Chadwick, Neal, Pine and Spring Streets. It includes one climb-behind the Western Prom Cemetery. Otherwise it's fast and flat.
