PORTLAND — The Portland Sea Dogs, in conjunction with the Maine Track Club and Intermed, will be hosting the 14th annual Mother’s Day 5K on Sunday at 9:15 a.m.

Proceeds from the event will benefit Maine breast cancer patients and research, with the funds being split between the Cancer Community Center and the Maine Cancer Foundation.

There will also be a Kid’s Run, presented by Maine Running, beginning at 8:30 a.m. that is free.

A capped field of 3,000 runners is once again expected for this year’s race.

In the previous 13 years of the event, the Sea Dogs have donated over $169,507 to support breast cancer research and patients in Maine, including $25,000 from last year’s race.

The Sea Dogs are in need of several volunteers for the race. If interested, log on to www.seadogs.com for more information or contact the Sea Dogs office at 874-9300.

Once again, Slugger and his mom will lead the way on the flat 5K course, which culminates with a unique finish inside Hadlock Field in front of the third base dugout.

The course is USAT&F certified and is part of the USAT&F Sanctioned Grand Prix series.

The top overall male and female finishers will receive a trophy, a pair of 2014 season tickets for the remainder of the 2014 Sea Dogs season and throw out the ceremonial first-pitch prior to a future Sea Dogs game.

All participants of the race will receive a complimentary ticket to attend a future Sea Dogs game.
