We’re excited to give back by helping with race morning setup at the Maine Marathon this fall. 👟 To make it happen, we’re looking for a small team of enthusiastic volunteers to mark their calendars for Sunday, October 4th and join us bright and early.

How early? Think sunrise… or even earlier. ☀

Setup begins around 5:00 AM, so we’re especially looking for our early bird supporters who don’t mind getting a jump start on the day.

Interested in helping us make Maine Marathon race day a success? Email us today: helpachild@robbiefoundation.com ⭐
