Millside Fitness Bun Run 5K
The Millside Fitness Bun Run is a community 5K loop in Dexter that uses a mix of trails, roads and hills. The course meanders through woods and the streets of Dexter, with the start and finish located in the heart of downtown.
Participants may run or walk the course. Strollers and leashed pets are allowed. The race will run in reverse this year so the opening section descends along Grove Street at the Newport/Dover-Foxcroft Rail Trail. The event is professionally timed and will feature custom bibs, a finisher's medal for all finishers, prizes for the top three male and top three female finishers, and age group awards.
Registration opens March 31, 2026. The base registration fee is $35; the fee increases to $40 on June 9 and to $45 on July 10. There is no same day registration for 2026. Packet pickup and bib distribution are in front of Millside Fitness at 26 Main Street, with bib pick-up times to be announced. Registrants by July 24 are guaranteed a t-shirt in their chosen size; later registrants receive shirts based on availability.
All proceeds support the Heart of Maine Resource Center, a local nonprofit that connects community members with resources such as food distribution, housing and heating assistance, educational opportunities, and other services. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
