Group Run - Sunay November 16th, 8am - Schoodic Woods

Group run, this coming Sunday, Nov 16 at the Schoodic section of Acadia National Park.

If you’ve never run here before: it’s beautiful, and we can have a wide range of distance and pace groups, with options using:

- Schoodic Loop Rd, two lanes but one-way car traffic, amazing ocean views, moderate hills

- smooth but winding and hilly bike trails (like MDI carriage trails, but a bit narrower and hillier)

- hiking trails (typical Downeast trail running, roots, rocks, bog bridges, some great views)

- mixes of the above!

From the meeting place, the shortest/easiest loop that goes all the way to Schoodic Point is a bit over 9 miles total, mostly on the road with 2 miles of bike trail. If any group wanted a shorter run but to include Schoodic Point, it’s also easy to drive there, or near there.

Meeting place: Schoodic Woods

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)
