Our Story

Join us for the 8th annual Race Through The Woods trail race, sponsored by First National Bank, on Sunday, September 30 at Hidden Valley Nature Center in Jefferson. Are you inspired by the tranquility of running on rustic trails deep in the Maine woods? Do you enjoy the challenge of highly varied terrain, where slippery roots or loose rocks demand your concentration and sharpen your focus? Then you should register for a beautiful fall “Race through the Woods” at Hidden Valley Nature Center. Explore the exciting mix of single and double-track trails over rolling terrain in this challenging racecourse.

Racing starts at 10:00 am. Racers will have two course options to choose from: a 13.1 mile half-marathon or a 5.5 mile race (5.5 milers share the course with half-marathoners, same start time). This single loop course brings you over steep hills, through the woods, past beautiful ponds and has about 1,000 feet elevation. No day of registration, no bib transfers. This is a sell-out event.

This race is open to beginners, novices, and experienced trail runners alike. If you’ve never been in a trail race this is a great, fun event to start with. After the race everyone is encouraged to stick around and enjoy a bonfire, hot cider or a beer from Sheepscot Valley Brewing Company one of our sponsors. Steelhouse Oven wood-fired pizza will be available after the races, so bring cash for lunch!

Kids 10 years and under can participate in a fun obstacle race starting at about 10:30 am (after the other races have taken off). The race will be only somewhat competitive; the goal is really just to have fun. Each racer will receive a ribbon and an official HVNC patch! Register online using the link below- registration for kids’ race is free. The course will feature small hurdles, jumps, and mazes. After the official race, kids are welcome to enjoy the course at their own pace.

Race fees are $35 for the half marathon, and $25 for the 5.5 miler. Long sleeve technical shirts are available for purchase. All money raised for Midcoast Conservancy will go towards keeping the watershed vibrant, the land preserved, and the heart of the Midcoast healthy.

Prizes ( homemade PIE!!) will be given to first place finishers (men and women) and in age categories. Prizes will also include local goods donated by businesses and volunteers and gift certificates to Hidden Valley Nature Center from Midcoast Conservancy.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS…REGISTRATION WILL OPEN APRIL 1st.

Thanks to our major sponsor, First National Bank!
