The Wine Flight 5K

Saturday October 17th, $25

A fun "non-competitive" 5k event that combines the celebration of fitness and health with spectacular shoreline views, good company, and the best food Portland has to offer.

The Wine Flight 5k is a tribute to  France's Marathon du Medoc, combining the fun of a 5k run/walk with the joy of food and wine. At each "Aid Station" you can sample delicacies from local Portland  purveyors: cheese, olives, fruits, veggies, and chocolates. Upon crossing the finish line, you can eat more and drink too: your award is your entry to a wine-tasting celebration. Indulge - you've earned it.

It's a great way to be active and social. There is no time clock for this event - it's is all about the experience and atmosphere. Walk as easy as you'd like between stations. Make your pit stops longer than your splits. Chat along the way. Meet fellow runners and toast to the good life. The Wine Flight is packed with festive atmosphere.

Tower of Chocolate

Sunday October 18, $25 + $1 handling

Portland’s Observatory on Munjoy Hill will be the site of a chocolate ascent!  Start at the base of this beloved symbol of Portland’s rich maritime heritage to sample a variety of chocolate treats as you explore the exhibit that tells the fascinating, sometimes whimsical story of the Observatory.  There are 6 more levels of chocolate to explore before you reach the lantern deck, which allows to you a panorama that stretches from the White Mountains of New Hampshire to 30 miles off shore.   Proceeds from this event will go in large part to fund the East End Holiday Light Project, which will extend Maine light artist Pandora LaCasse’s Portland Canvas up the Observatory itself.
