Crooked River 5k

About the Event

The Crooked River 5k returns to Harrison, Maine on July 26th, offering runners a scenic introduction to the historic trails along the Crooked River. This race starts and finishes at Scribner's Mill, located right on the riverbank in the heart of Harrison. Participants will traverse freshly cut paths through tall red pines and enjoy picturesque views of the Crooked River Forest.
Race morning typically sees temperatures around 22°C with a slight chance for scattered showers due to an average rainfall of 5.3mm throughout July. The humidity remains at about 78%, making it important for runners to stay hydrated as they navigate the challenging yet rewarding course layout. With one aid station along the route, participants should be prepared to carry their own supplies and electrolytes.
The Crooked River 5k has been an annual event in Harrison since its inception, attracting around 200 runners each year who come for both the scenic beauty of the area and the chance to support local conservation efforts. All proceeds from this race benefit Loon Echo Land Trust, a non-profit dedicated to preserving land within Maine’s Lakes Region.
The course is designed as a "lollipop" loop that begins at Scribner's Mill Bridge on Scribers Mills Road before leading participants onto the Crooked River Trailhead and then branching off into various trails including Intervale Trail and Evergreen Trail. This layout ensures runners experience both the riverfront beauty and dense forest landscapes.
There is one aid station located approximately 1.75 miles from the start, where water will be available but no additional provisions are provided at this point along the course. Runners should ensure they bring their own snacks or energy gels for sustained performance throughout the race.
Registration for the Crooked River 5k can be completed online via the link [https://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=135825](https://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=135825) with a fee of $25.00 per participant. Bib pickup is available on race morning from 7:00 am to 8:45 am at Scribner's Mill - 244 Scribers Mills Rd, Harrison, ME 04040.
Participants should arrive early for bib collection and familiarize themselves with the starting location before lining up by their wave. The race officially begins promptly at 9:00 am sharp from the historic Scriber’s Mill bridge on the Crooked River Trailhead.
The Crooked River 5k in Harrison, Maine, scheduled for July 26th, offers runners a unique blend of scenic trail running and community support through its partnership with Loon Echo Land Trust.
