Corporal Cole Memorial 5k & Half Marathon

Corporal Cole Memorial 5k & Half Marathon is held on August 22, 2027, in Norridgewock, Maine, in memory of Corporal Eugene Cole. Two formats are offered, a 5K and a half marathon, starting at 8:00 a.m.; the distances recorded against each are inconsistent in our data, so check the official entry page before choosing.

Memorial races tend to draw a local field with a strong turnout from the community rather than a competitive one, which makes them welcoming to first-timers whichever distance you take. For the half, an 8:00 a.m. start in inland Maine in late August usually means a cool, still morning — good conditions to run an honest time.
