Bold Coast Runners

Upcoming Group Run Details:

Sunday August 30th - Last Sunday in August! Come join us for an exploration of some of the Cobscook Shores Parks..Think Central Park trails, Downeast Style! Very well maintained, mostly single track with gentle roots and rocks, some crushed gravel. Easy going for the most part, and beautiful views of Dennys Bay, Cobscook Bay and the many coves. Might be foggy at the start, but the sun will shine on Sunday!

I've included links here to each Parkland, check them out, including the complete map here. https://cobscookshores.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Mapside-11025_Cobscook_Shores.pdf

What: Join us for a trail run at 3 parklands! Race Point, Whiting Bay Beach and Carrying Place Cove!

Starting at Race Point - 3.2-mile run, assuming we run on the adjacent IF&W land (the latter is not as well maintained, but we'd survive)..Views of Reversing Falls Park and Pembroke!
Then drive 2.3M, or 6 minutes, to the second property: Whiting Bay Beach. 2.4-mile run
Then drive 3.7M, or 8 minutes, to the third property: Carrying Place Cove. 2.4-mile run.

Bonus points for anyone that wants to bike between the parklands, but we'll start at the northeastern most parkland and then work our way south, so if you wanna carpool, Chime in here to make a plan!

When: Sunday August 30th, 8am

Where: We'll start at Race Point

Who we are: a welcoming, encouraging and supportive group of crazy people who run the roads and trails of way Downeast Maine, the Canadian Borderlands, and beyond. We welcome everyone, from beginners to old-timers and from tortoises to hares. We run distances ranging from 1 mile to 50 miles and on anything from smooth tar to rugged single track. If it's hot: we run, if it rains: we run, if it's snowy: we run in snowshoes, if icy: in spikes. We just run, mostly for fun, but some of us are also competitive! Bold Coast Runners is an affiliate member of the RRCA and soon USAT. Through the RRCA, we are a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.

Club Runs: most Sundays at 8:00 am somewhere in coastal Washington County or just over the border in Hancock County or Charlotte County, Canada (location and time set by group leader - note that you don't have to be a club member to join us in any of these activities, just show up at the appointed time and place)
