May 4th will mark the 10th annual 4-Way 5K walk / run & 10K run hosted my the Rotary Club of Bath. Last year the name of the race was changed to honor Rev. George Dole, a long time Bath Rotarian who in 1954, while studying at Oxford University in England, ran in the race in which Roger Bannister broke the 4-minute mile. A lifelong runner, George won his age category in several of our races. George passed away just shy of his 90th birthday on June 29th, 2021.

This years race proceeds will benefit the "Frazier Metcalf Swim for Health Memorial Fund", which gives swim lessons to all 3rd graders in RSU 1 Schools and the Rotary Club of Bath's Community Service Fund which supports local and international projects.
