Portland, Maine - The Portland Sea Dogs in conjunction with the Maine Track Club and Intermed will be hosting the 18th annual Mother's Day 5K Road Race on Sunday, May 13th at 9:15am. Proceeds from the event benefit Maine breast cancer patients and research with the funds going to the American Cancer Society. There will also be a Kids Run, presented by Fleet Feet Maine Running, beginning at 8:30am, that is free of charge.

In the previous 17 years of the event, the Sea Dogs have been able to donate over $224,507.00 to support breast cancer research and patients in Maine including $12,500.00 from last year's race.

Slugger and his Mom lead the way on the flat 5K course which begins in front of the Portland Expo building, travels down Congress Street, turning down Stevens Avenue, and making a right onto Brighton Avenue back down Deering Avenue into Fitzpatrick Stadium. The race 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 2018 Season Tickets, and throw out the ceremonial first-pitch prior to a future Sea Dogs game. The top three male and female finishers in each age group will also be presented with awards. All participants of the race will receive a complimentary ticket to attend a future Sea Dogs game.
