Bad Little Trail Run - 8mile

Bad Little Trail Run in Whitneyville, Maine offers two trail events: an 8-mile run and a 2.5-mile run/walk. Both start and finish on the Downeast Sunrise Trail in Whitneyville and wind through the Machias River Preserve to celebrate local conservation with the Downeast Coastal Conservancy and Bold Coast Runners. The 2.5-mile course stays on the Sunrise Trail to the Homestead trail and back on a short single-track loop, while the 8-mile route adds deeper single-track climbs, river crossing, and multiple trail segments (Homestead, Sunrise, Heritage) along the river, including some mud and roots. Finisher gifts, post-race BBQ/pot-luck, and age-group awards accompany a free raffle; proceeds support conservation efforts. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
