• Description: The Kennebunk Rotary Club is pleased to report that the 16th Annual Presidential Road Race (PRR) will be held on October 6, 2007, at 10:00 am, in Kennebunkport, Maine.
  
  
  Note: This year's race has been changed to a 5K Run and Walk for Education.
  
  
  Our new 5K course will be certified by the USATF by the end of July. Once again, the 1K Kid's Fun Run will precede the main event. Also as before, the race will start and finish in front of Consolidated School at 25 School St. Kennebunkport, where registration and the presentation of awards will be held.
  
  As in the past, full net proceeds from the race will be invested in the communities we serve. All net proceeds from this race will fund the Kennebunk Rotary Scholarship program. We have been able to help worthy students with annual scholarships totaling in excess of $20,000.
  
  We encourage you to register soon and join us on October 6th. We will be starting the main run/walk event at 10:00 am, preceded by the Kid's Fun Run at 9:15 am. Timing will be provided by 5K Sports and Race Management Services until 11:30 AM. The awards ceremony will follow promptly at the Consolidated School Gym where we will have plenty to eat and drink. Our prize list is excellent, including a generous raffle available to all bib holders.
  
  This is still one of the most beautiful courses in the northeast. It begins and ends in a quaint New England village, goes through beautiful wooded foliage and proceeds directly along the coast and the Kennebunk River district, with awesome ocean and waterfront views. The new 5K course will not include 'that windy stretch' of Ocean Avenue near President George H.W. Bush's summer home.
  
  Please register for the race early to ensure you receive one of our highly coveted long sleeve T-shirts.
