5K Bun Run

Come out and race for a good cause and stay for a fun filled day of activities, good music, good food and fun times!

You can run or walk this race. Strollers and leashed pets are also welcome.  This is a 5k loop with hills, trails and road.  It meanders through some woods and streets of Dexter and you start and finish right in the heart of downtown.  

Support a Great Cause

All proceeds will support Heart of Maine Resource Center. The Heart of Maine Resource Center was founded in response to a need for community resources. Our mission is to connect our neighbors with the resources they need to thrive.

In the fall of 2020, we received the donation of the historic Bert Call Studio to house our nonprofit, and that December we received our 501(c)(3) status. The building has been gutted and renovations have begun, but we are in need of support to finish the first floor where the food hub will be located. As soon as we finish the food distribution floor, we will begin an open-shopping model for people to come and get the food when they need it and choose what is best for them and their households. We recognize that nourishing the community through food is only one way to address the needs of our community members. Our goal is to be a central location in town where we can connect people with the resources they need— whether it’s food, housing and heating assistance, educational opportunities, other clinical services, etc. For more information on HMRC visit theheartofmaine.org
