SUMMARY:New England Forest Rally
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the New England Forest Rally\, the 2021 DirtFish rally of the year.\nThe New England Forest Rally (NEFR) is an annual two-day stage rally that takes place on the back roads and logging tracks of Western Maine and Northern New Hampshire. The course is made up of dirt and gravel logging roads that are known as a favorite among competitors due to their challenging and technical demand. \nJoin the excitement and witness the incredible skill of these off-road drivers as they maneuver their cars (twisting\, sliding\, turning and jumping) through the woods\, winding creeks and one-lane bridges at speeds up to 100 mph! Fans also attend festivities such as “Parc Exposé\,” where all the teams parade their cars into an open area as fans can gather\, mingle with the competitors\, get autographs\, and see the cars up close. Rally Village features vendors\, exhibitors and food throughout the two days and an awards party. \nAgain in 2023 we expect a large and star studded field.  You can join the excitement in a number of ways; competing\, volunteering\, spectating\, or by letting us do the driving and escort you to the best places to see NEFR on the Rally Bus (more info to come).

SUMMARY:John Andrews Memorial 5K Walk or Run
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 6th annual John Andrews 5K Trail Run and Walk on Saturday\, June 3rd beginning at 10am. Registration and Check In begins at 8:30am. The 5k\, all on the Eastern Trail\, begins and finishes at the end of Mill Brook Road in the Mill Brook Industrial Park. \n \nJohn Andrews (1937 – 2017) \n\nFollowing the race\, awards will be given to top finishers in several categories. Easy and ample parking at Maine Molecular or Pond Cove Millwork. \nAll participants receive one free beer or glass of wine when they show their race bib at O’Reilly’s Cure Restaurant & Bar on the day of the race! \nThe event honors John Andrews\, Eastern Trail founder\, mentor and friend. John’s vision to create the Eastern Trail started in the early 1990s. He was persistent\, but patient\, and made tremendous progress in a relatively short amount of time. After starting this amazing effort\, John lived on the trail\, used the trail\, and guided countless others to understand and appreciate this great resource. Sadly\, John passed away in February 2017. \nProceeds from this event benefit the Eastern Trail Alliance (ETA)\, an organization dedicated to building a 65-mile off road transportation and recreation greenway from Kittery to South Portland\, Maine and will go directly to support the ETA’s trail development campaigns. With 22 miles currently off road\, our goal is to raise awareness and funds to continue John’s vision of filling in the gaps and adding more miles to the off-road trail sections. \nRegistration fee is $25 per person\, $30 day of race.

SUMMARY:ATV Safety Course
DESCRIPTION:Riding an ATV is an exciting way to explore the beautiful State of Maine. But Maine’s thousands of miles of ATV trails across the state wouldn’t be possible without dedicated ATV clubs and the generosity of private landowners – 80 percent of the state-supported ATV trail system resides on private land. \nParticipation in an ATV education course will teach how to properly operate and maintain an ATV. Laws\, responsibilities and personal safety will also be covered. Passage of a final exam is required. You must attend every day of the class in order to receive your certificate. \nTopics Discussed: \nProper Operation and Safety (Riding Skill-Equipment-Maintenance) \nLaws \nEmergencies & Survival \nMap & Compass \nSelf Help First Aid \nEnvironmental/Landowner/Ethics \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis course is one of a series offered on various dates\, in several different localities. To find a course near you\, visit the Maine Dept of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife website.

SUMMARY:Bold Coast Runners – Cobscook Backyard Ultra
DESCRIPTION:The Bold Coast Runners 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! \nCobscook Backyard Ultra – 50K or 50 miles.   \n* Important Note regarding the date: the park will be contracting for some significant work removing damaged and dangerous trees. It is possible this work will be ongoing on 23 April.  If it is the event may be cancelled or postponed at short notice. \nThe Event:  Come and run an easy 5 Km or 4.167 mile (6.706 Km) loops – just a stroll in the Park!  If you want to spend Sunday 23 April in the beautiful Cobscook Bay State Park running and walking your first\, or a different kind of\, 50 Km or 50 mile Ultra with a great group of people\, then why not sign up and join the fun? Or bring 1 or more friends and split the distance between you as a team entry. \nIf you can run/walk 3.1 miles in 1 hour then do it again next hour\, and then again for 10 laps/hours in total\, then you can finish a 50K in 10 hours. Or if you don’t think you can do it all alone\, find a friend or two and divide it up as a Relay Team of 2 or 3\, just so long as one team member completes each lap. \nOr run/walk 4.167 miles each hour over and over again for 12 laps/hours in total for a 50 miler.  Again\, do it as an individual or as a Relay Team of 2 or 3\, just so long as one member completes each lap. \nThe course is on vehicle free park gravel roads and will be well marked with arrows at every intersection. The 4.167 mile loop will overlap with the 5K loop for the most part with an additional 0.57 Km out and back to make up the difference.  Course Map 50k click here – Course Map 50mi Click here \nWe’ll follow modified Backyard Ultra protocols – starting at 9am 50 Km runners will do one 5 Km loop\, then do the 5K loop again at 10:00am\, then again at 11:00am etc. through to starting the last lap at 6:00pm for 10 x 5K = 50K. When you finish a lap you’ll likely have time to spare before the next one starts\, so take a break\, grab a drink/grub and wait for the next hour to come round. We will have a 5 minute warning bell before the start of the next lap. If you are not on the start line on the hour\, because you haven’t finished the last lap or you’ve fallen asleep or whatever\, then you are finished at however many loops you have completed.  The event ends after 10 hours so the furthest you can go is 50kms. \n50 mile runners will start earlier\, at 7:00am and do a 4.167 mile loop\, then do it again at 8:00am\, etc. as with the 50 K runners – every hour and starting the last lap at 6:00pm alongside the last lap for the 50 K runners. \nTeams – in addition to individuals we will allow teams of 2 or 3 runners to compete.  So long as one of your runners is on the start line on the hour\, and completes the loop\, your team can continue.  This means you can participate without having to run all 10 laps\, or even if you need to run off to do something else for a couple of hours.  It’s up to you to organize your team. \nNote: if there is competition for places we will give first priority to individual runners\, second to 2 person teams\, and lastly to 3 person teams – so yeah\, we’re encouraging you to think big and ambitous – get out of your comfort zones! \nTiming:  We’ll have a clock and a timing sheet on-site – write down your own loop times. \nNot quite a Fatass style event – while largely a Fatass style event – no aid stations\, no support\, no medals or awards\, just satisfaction for you (or your team) in completing the distance and a great sense of camaraderie as we all push ourselves\, we do ask for a non-refundable donation of $10 to cover park entrance fees and some of our other basic costs. \nYou should Bring your own supplies\, canopy\, chairs\, etc. be prepared for the weather conditions.   Also\, please consider bringing something to share – we’ll put out a shelter and table for this.  There are multiple outhouses along the course but no running water or showers. \nBecause the park is closed to vehicles until 15 May you will have to park outside the park gate on South Edmunds Road and carry your stuff from there to the Start/Finish area where we’ll all set up – it’s about 300 metres. You can bring a cart or wheelbarrow. Please do NOT block the park entrance.
