Bad Little Trail Run - 8mile

Whitneyville, United States • 28 Sep 2025

Bad Little Trail Run, in Whitneyville, Maine, features an 8-mile trail race and a 2.5-mile run/walk through the Machias River Preserve. Hosted by Bold Coast Runners in partnership with the Downeast Coastal Conservancy, it blends Sunrise Trail gravel, riverfront singletrack, and wooded segments, including Homestead, Munson Pitch, and Heritage trails. The 2.5-mile route stays on Sunrise/Homestead paths with a late finish sprint; the 8-mile course adds additional climbs and river crossings with occasional mud and roots. The event honors the Passamaquoddy name Machias—Bad Little Falls—and includes a post-race BBQ, potluck, finisher gifts, raffles, and age-group awards, with proceeds supporting conservation.
