Hundreds of people lined the streets of Brewer and downtown Bangor to watch the annual Fourth of July Parade on Friday.

The festivities kicked off Tuesday morning with the 44th annual Walter Hunt Memorial Fourth of July 3K, as runners raced down Wilson Street in Brewer, across the Joshua Chamberlain Bridge into Bangor and down Main Street through downtown.

Kyle McClellan, who will start his junior year at the University of Maine this fall, won the race in 8:57.

Ruby Krasnow, a former track and field athlete at Clark University, won the women’s division with a time of 10:08. 

More than 450 runners crossed the finish line in total.
