The 2020 Weekly Back Cove 5k Series is Cancelled

After much consideration and making sure that we are following all pertinent guidelines and ordinances from the State of Maine and CDC, we will be cancelling the 2020 Weekly Back Cove Series (WBCS).

We have always seen the WBCS as an opportunity to give back to Portland Trails. We are sad to break our 4 year streak of donating $15,000 each race series to Portland Trails, but we truly stand behind this decision. We are hoping to still be able to donate a check to Portland Trails this year with your help! If you would like your registration fee to be donated to Portland Trails, no action is needed. Should you decide to take this route with your registration fee, we would be happy to provide you with a free entry into the 2021 Weekly Back Cove Series.

We also understand the difficult financial hardship that some families may be facing at this point in time. Should you need a refund, please check your email for details about how to receive one by May 31st.

Thank you for your understanding during these difficult and uncertain times. We believe that this is the safest decision for our staff, runners, and spectators.

Stay healthy and stay well!
