Robert Burns 10K – Crow Athletics

January 26, 2025

“THERE IS NO SUCH UNCERTAINTY AS A SURE THING.” -ROBERT BURNS

“The idea of the Robert Burns 10k race was born out of conversation over good food, wine and beer, and positive vibes at a friend’s rooftop patio. Inspired by Crow Athletics Gray Allen and having for so many years competed in events, we were excited and passionate to finally learn the ropes of putting on a well managed race ourselves. We agreed that the event should be unique, support a good cause, and have a special personal element connected to the theme of the race. Both of us celebrate our ancestry and connection to the cultural gifts of the Scottish Heritage, and thought of who better to embody the spirit of this race than Robert Burns, the most cherished and celebrated poet from Scotland. The proceeds of the Robert Burns 10K will go to benefit Westbrook High School’s Compass Academy. COMPASS—or Creating Opportunities through Multiple Pathways for Academic and Social Success—helps kids who don’t fit in a normal high school class structure to stay engaged and supported. It’s a great program working with a broad group of kids who need a little extra help and we are thrilled to support them.” –Ned Swain & Myles Courtney, race founders.
