2008 Race Recap - Race Results
The 2008 race was our most successful one yet!  With over 1,000 runners, we far surpassed our past records for participation.  And speaking of breaking records, we saw a new course record for women. 

With all proceeds going to the Casco Bay YMCA’s financial assistance program, the Y received $15,000.  This was the largest amount raised since the Y first partnered with L.L.Bean 6 years ago.
