From the Organizer
All who knew Alden, knew how he loved the outdoors. Alden especially loved trail running with his wife, Amy. Join us on one of Alden's favorite trails, the "Ridge to River" Trail at Georges Highland Path for the inaugural Alden J. Robbins Memorial Trail Race. This is a technical trail located in Searsmont, Maine. The start of the race will be at the corner of School Street and Appleton Ridge Road. The trail will bring you along the Saint George River, before coming back up to cross Appleton Ridge Road to continue on the Ridge to River trail and finish in a Christmas tree field. Parking will be available at 53 Ghent Road in Searsmont. Signage will be posted to guide attendees to the different areas.
