Run for the woods–or rather, in them! All trail runners, new and experienced, are encouraged to join the Spring Trail Running Training Group at Midcoast Conservancy’s Hidden Valley Nature Center. Runners meet up at the HVNC Welcome Center on Wednesdays between 4:30 and 6:30 pm for route recommendations from staff, connecting with a running partner if desired, and the camaraderie of muddy socks and gorgeous trails.

Options include both 2.5-mile and 3.5-mile loops along the nearly 30 miles of trails at Hidden Valley Nature Center in Jefferson. The program is free and will be held every Wednesday until June 5; to learn more or sign up, go to https://www.midcoastconservancy.org/events-list/trail-running-series-may1.
