Join Downeast Coastal Conservancy and Bold Coast Runners for an 8 mile run or 2.5 mile run/walk through the Machias River Preserve to celebrate conservation in our community and help raise awareness for the protection of Downeast Maine’s wild places. The Bad Little Trail Run is named from the Passamaquoddy word “Machias” meaning Bad Little Falls in reference to the falls on the Machias river. Both races start and end in Whitneyville, followed by post-race awards and a barbecue potluck. Participants will receive a gift, and awards will be in the following age groups: top three men and women, first 17 and under, 19-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70+.

Registration is open until 5pm on Saturday, September 28: $25 for the 8-mile run or $20 for the 2.5 mile run/walk. Day-of registration is limited, and fees will be $30 and $25 respectively.
