Sometimes we forget to get a picture—-but not all of the time! We know some folks are missing from these, but we wanted to give a special shoutout and thank you to all of our volunteers from the @mainecoastrun and @oldporthalfmarathon.
A Running Passion has been the regular group of volunteers staffing the beer garden for these races since 2021. Since then we keep learning…but feel that we have nearly perfected how we manage this HUGE endeavor!
Throughout the years, in addition to our efforts in the beer garden, the team at @venturesendurance has selected us to be the featured charity partner for both races allowing runners to donate to us at registration AND adding a donation tab on bibs to allow runners to tip the beer garden staff with an extra donation. Additionally, we are grateful to @shipyardbrewing for providing the beverages and occasional brand reps that stop by that help make the post race parties such a success. This evolution of our involvement with these events has allowed us to raise more than $13,000 (estimated) to help propel our mission forward for the 2025 races. THANKS again to all of our volunteers, all of the runners, and to Shipyard and Venture for allowing us to be a part of these two iconic Maine races!
