Race Through the Woods

Join Midcoast Conservancy for the 12^th Annual Race Through The Woods trail race, sponsored by First National Bank and Trail Monster Running on Saturday, September 30 at Hidden Valley Nature Center in Jefferson, Maine. 

Racers will have two course options to choose from: a 13 mile or a shorter 5 mile race.  This single loop course brings you over steep hills, through the woods, past beautiful ponds and has about 1,000 feet elevation with lots of technical single track. We may be biased, but it's one of the most fun (and hard!) trail races you'll run.

Race fees are $40 for the 13 distance, and $30 for the 5 miler. Both races start at 9 am.  Prices for both races will increase by $5 AFTER AUGUST 1, 2023.

Your registration fee goes directly to Midcoast Conservancy's Mission of protecting and restoring vital lands and waters on a scale that matters. With over 14,000 acres of land conserved, 56 preserves open to the public, 3 watersheds protected, and 1,600+ members supporting our efforts Midcoast Conservancy is lone of the largest conservation organizations in Maine.
