Join us to run one of Bath's most popular trails in the third annual Thorne Head 4k Trail Run ! The Kennebec Estuary Land Trust is hosting one of the most fun, cheerful, community-led trail runs this fall season. We keep it small so that everyone can have a good time, and so you can really load up on our incredible finisher's fall breakfast: think apple cider donuts, hot coffee, cider, bacon, and more. We're not joking around about the breakfast. Whether it's your first time running trails or you love to get out on midcoast Maine trails every week, there is a space for you at Thorne Head Trail Run! Your sign up fee goes directly to supporting our local trail system and environmental education with the Kennebec Estuary Land Trust. With your support, we can keep conserving land and making amazing trails that inspire our community to take care of this special corner of Maine. Thorne Head trail run will have it all: fun single track, nice wide trails, water views, and good company. We won't have winners but everyone will get a one-of-a-kind finishers mug. See you there! All the details are on the race website! Thank you to our lead sponsor Bath Savings Trust Company
