Update!
The Wildlands Race is coming up this Sunday, October 28. Weather looks perfect for a fall Wildlands trail run: the nor’easter will have passed to our south and temps will be rising into the 40’s with chance of light rain. Bring an extra warm layer and a dry set of clothes in the car! Our race crew is ready to go and we have a lot of swag lined up. Online registration is closed but you can still register on race day or by email (see below).
The Wildlands Race and the FBC Autumn Trail Race on November 4 are stand-alone races, but both can be entered as the Double Trouble Race. Both races are also part of the Downeast Conservation Trail Race Series
