Healthy Kids will host the 21st Annual Strawberry Shortcake Shuffle 5K Run/Walk on July 11, at Great Salt Bay School in Damariscotta.

"Participants will enjoy a professionally timed, well-marked course, with a few updates to this year’s route, including a loop through the Great Salt Bay School parking lots," said Healthy Kids, in a news release.

Maps will be available on Healthy Kids website and at the event. All runners and walkers will receive Healthy Kids swag, including a custom tote bag and lip balm, and everyone can celebrate at the finish line with homemade strawberry shortcake. Age-category prizes and recognition will also be awarded. 

The Strawberry Shortcake Shuffle raises funds to support Healthy Kids’ programs that strengthen families and promote child safety throughout Lincoln and Knox counties.

This year’s sponsors include Hannaford, Bath Savings Institution, Renys, Colby & Gale, Lifespan Family Health Care, Newcastle Realty/Cheney Financial Group, and Mythical Market.

"Join us for a fun morning of fitness, family, and strawberry shortcake while supporting local children and families," said Healthy Kids.
