1986 Dec 17 Candy Cane Fun Run
The first annual Candy Cane Fun Run, hosted by Maine running greats Joan Benoit
Samuelson and Bruce Bickford, was held on December 17 in Portland. The non-competitive running event attracted 100 runners garbed in an array of Christmas
costumes to a four-mile course which featured a stop at the Seaside Nursing
Home for carolling. Sponsored by the Maine Association of Life Underwriters
and the Maine Track Club, the event raised nearly $1,000 for the Maine
Special Olympics.

“TBT: 31 years ago today (November 2nd, 1986). I just remember a very hilly 6.2 mile course and running with Stu Hogan until halfway before he took off. Nice times for a small race (200 runners). Picture is different race same year.”
