The 19th annual Seacoast Half Marathon, held Oct. 27, raised more than $120,000 in proceeds, which have been donated to Mainspring, a social service collective opening soon in the Maine-New Hampshire seacoast area.
Mainspring aims to improve how social service partners collaborate to provide care in the community. The collective centralizes essential social services in one physical location, with shared intake, case management, case conferencing and data collection necessary to help individuals and families navigate a pathway out of poverty.
Headquartered in Kittery, the collective will serve individuals in the seacoast regions of New Hampshire and Maine to address needs related to food and housing insecurity, veterans affairs, medical and mental health care, substance recovery and other areas.
Mainspring is scheduled to open by the end of 2024.
In the last two years, M&T Bank has partnered with the committee as the race’s visionary sponsor.
“The marathon’s mission to support a different local charity every year is a wonderful way to promote the good work of key nonprofit organizations throughout our region,” said Phil Cohen, Maine regional president for M&T Bank. “We are honored to sponsor the Seacoast Half Marathon and are proud to serve Mainspring, which is a truly innovative way to approach helping those in need.”
The Seacoast Half Marathon is a 13.1-mile road race through the New Hampshire communities of Portsmouth, Rye, and New Castle. In its 19 years, the race has raised just over $1.8 million.
This year, the half marathon drew more than 900 runners from around the Northeast.
“What makes this event unique is that it is 100% volunteer-organized and each year’s beneficiary is the direct recipient of every dollar the race raises through registrations and sponsorships,” said Bruce Hurley, race director.
“It’s been 19 years as an extremely successful fundraiser and we could never do it without the support of our community, the police, the volunteers, and of course, our generous local sponsors."
