The John Andrews Memorial 5K on May 31, 2025 in Saco (ME) is more than just a race—it’s a chance to celebrate the legacy of John Andrews and the beauty of the Eastern Trail. This year, we’re inviting you to take your support one step further by becoming a fundraiser! By turning your run (or walk!) into a fundraising effort, you’ll help us maintain, expand, and protect this beloved community resource—and inspire others to do the same.

Getting started is easy:

Register for the JA5K – Click here to sign up.

On the fourth page of the registration, click “Become a Fundraiser.” Set your goal, personalize your fundraising page, and start sharing!

To help you hit the ground running, we’ve created a JA5K 2025 Fundraising Toolkit with sample posts, email templates, and fundraising tips to guide you every step of the way.

[Download the toolkit here]

Your voice—and your 5K—can help raise awareness and vital funds for the future of the Eastern Trail. Whether your goal is $50 or $500, every dollar makes a difference.

Let’s run (and fundraise) together for the trail we love.

With gratitude, The ETA Team
