From the Organizer

Join us Saturday, September 19th for the Mt A Trail Challenge!

We're excited to have you join us at the summit of Mount Agamenticus for the 10th Annual Mt. A Trail Challenge!

The 5K begins at 9 AM and the 1 Mile starts at 9:20 AM.

Run, hike, roll or stroll through either our 1 Mile or 5K course. This challenge is timed the good ol’ fashioned way with stop watches, thanks to our local York Highschool Cross Country Team. There are no traditional age category prizes, but there will be a raffle for all participants!

As always, all funds raised go right back into Mount A conservation & education efforts. Thank you for your continued support!

This year, any previous participants who beat their own personal Trail Challenge record can receive a Mount Agamenticus Conservation Region logo pin!

If you have any questions regarding trails, please contact Naomi at ndensmore@yorkmaine.org

If you have any questions regarding registration, please contact Nick at ndarby@yorkmaine.org
