About this race
Event Details
Join us on Sunday, January 10, 2027, for a race event unlike any other in Maine. Get out of the cold and head indoors: no ice underfoot, no frigid gusts in your face, and no snow overhead! Who knew running in circles was so much fun? Music, camaraderie, and running! Walkers welcome.
Why This Matters
Indoor Insanity 5K is a fundraiser to prevent lung cancer. Your race fees help pay for installation of radon mitigation systems in low-income Maine households.

- Heat #2: for the intermediate runners (20-27 minute 5k). Field will be limited to 75 runners. First come, first served sign ups.
- Heat #3: for runners of any level willing to take on the chaos of Indoor Insanity.
- Walkers: we have two dedicated lanes for walkers. Walkers start with Heat #1 Runners. Kids Fun Run, too!
