BANGOR, Maine (WABI) - Following Veterans Day this week, the Downeast Family YMCA helped give back to those who served with the return of a yearly event.

The 12th annual Veterans’ Remembrance “4 Miler” took place outside the Downeast Family YMCA Saturday, with runners and walkers crossing through Pond Avenue and Shore Road.

Pre registration was $20, while veterans with military ID could enter for free.
