2026 Lyseth 5k Fun Run
The Lyseth 5k Fun Run is an annual run and walk held to benefit students of Lyseth Elementary School. The event on November 14, 2026, is based at 175 Auburn Street in Portland, ME, and raises funds for the Lyseth PTA to support enrichment programs, classroom materials, special programs, field trips, and other student needs.
The main course is a 5K that winds through quieter, less traveled roads of Portland’s North Deering neighborhoods. Two water stops are located at approximately 1.5 and 2.5 miles along the route, and water plus bananas are available at the finish. A free 1/2 mile Fun Run for children in kindergarten through fifth grade starts before the 5K.
The event program includes race packet and T-shirt pickup, same day registration, the kids fun run, the 5K walk/run, and awards. Registration options listed include youth and adult categories with choices of with or without shirt; listed fees are $18 and $12 for youth with and without a shirt, and $30 and $20 for adults with and without a shirt. Local businesses provide sponsorship support, and volunteers take part in event operations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
