Thinking Ahead to Better Days

Okay, so the weather outside right now is definitely winter… but spring and summer will eventually be here. The Bridgton 4 on the Fourth Road Race Committee has been working hard to plan ahead for this local, awesome, annual event. Summer just would not be summer without this town-wide event held every year on the Fourth of July.

You can find the 2021 Bridgton 4 on the Fourth Road Race registration link and other race information on the race’s website: https://www.fouronthefourth.com 

or use the following link to go directly to the registration form: https://www.raceentry.com/races/bridgton-4-on-the-fourth-/2021/register

This race raises money for the Library and other local nonprofits. There is a Kids Run as well as the regular 4-mile course. What I love most about this event is that there are the people who run hard, the people who run, and then the people who just want to get outside and support their local community and be part of something really great and fun. It really is the best time you can have, and we hope to see you on July 4th, 2021!

It’s always a good time to say ThankYou
