Spurling Fitness of West Kennebunk has chosen York County Shelter Programs as its nonprofit beneficiary for its annual Spurling Charity 5K. The race will be held Aug. 8-9.
This marks the fifth year the personal training gym has organized the event. Its goal is to encourage participants to raise money for a community-based organization. This year’s event is a virtual race, due to COVID-19.
Entrants can walk or run on a treadmill, a favorite nature trail or other 5K course where they can follow Maine CDC recommendations on social distancing. Participants can run whenever they choose to, over the course of the two days.
The registration fee is $30. For more information or to register, visit www.spurlingcharity5k.com.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
