SUMMARY:Rangeley Trail Town Festival
DESCRIPTION:What are some of the best hikes near Rangeley? What’s it like to hike the Appalachian Trail (AT)? How can you best manage a long-distance hike?\nLearn this and more from seasoned outdoor enthusiasts at the Rangeley Trail Town Festival on Saturday September 2nd from 10:00am to 4:00pm. Music\, storytelling\, games\, and more—all free at Haley Pond Park on Pond Street\, near Ecopelagicon. \nAll morning\, see Rangeley Rescue’s equipment display; and\, at 11:00\, watch them show how they rescue hikers using ropes and more. At 11:45\, see actress Anne Van Curen transform into Emma “Grandma” Gatewood to tell stories about what it was like to be the first woman to solo hike the Appalachian Trail in 1955. \nAt 12:30 p.m.\, join Maine singer-songwriter and guitarist Denny Breau for several hours of country\, Delta blues\, folk\, and jazz. And\, at 3:00 p.m.\, see how fast you can eat a pint of Gifford’s “Muddy Boots” in the Ice Cream Eating Contest\, a favorite event of the festival ($2 kids\, $3 adults\, free to Appalachian Trail hikers). \nAll day\, come and play boot toss\, corn hole\, and more. Make your own survival bracelet; and\, with beads\, make a necklace that represents all 14 AT states. Bring a rock you’ve wondered about and let Rock Doc John Slack tell you about it; ask him about Maine minerals and green technology. Maine outdoors organizations such as Rangeley Lakes Heritage Trust\, High Peaks Alliance\, Maine Appalachian Trail Club\, and Maine Appalachian Trail Land Trust will share first-hand information about how to hike safely and how to care for local woods and trails. Artists and crafters whose work highlights the outdoors will line Pond Street. Talk with Rodney Richard\, Jr.\, traditional wood carver from Rangeley and Pownal\, who will demonstrate jackknife and chain saw carving. Enter the raffle to win outdoor equipment. Food will be available on site\, and nearby restaurants will be open\, as well. \nRangeley is one of only 35 towns along the 2\,180-mile AT to be named an official “Appalachian Trail Community.” The town received this honor from the Appalachian Trail Conservancy to honor Rangeley as a community that actively protects all of its natural\, cultural\, and recreational resources\, including the AT\, which runs from Georgia to Mt. Katahdin.

SUMMARY:Megunticook Trail Festival
DESCRIPTION:Three Bold Trail Races in Camden\, Maine\nThe Wicked Tough 10 is a 10K race that will test even the most accomplished runner on step singletrack with 1600 feet of vertical gain. The new Halfast 20k takes place mainly on wide gravel trail\, a great introductory race for those new to trail running or for experienced racers who want to test their speed. The Megunticook 50 is a 50K that is formidable and will traverse over 90% of the trails in the park. All afford a great and intimate taste of this unique area of the country. \nMegunticook 50  7:00 AM\nBrutal. Beautiful. Two words that only begin to describe this event in the remote Midcoast area of Maine. It traverses over 90% of the trails of this gem with a minimum of overlap. The views along the course are stunning and even the speedy “contenders” will be tempted to stop and take them in. It’s not a race for the faint of heart. There are over 7600’ of elevation gain and the trails are steep with lots of rocks and roots. If you’re not going up or down\, you’re probably off course. The cutoff time may seem generous at 11 hours\, but this course will beat you up physically and mentally. And while it doesn’t have the 3000’ climbs of some of the races in the West\, it has more overall vertical than most of those and would stand shoulder-to-shoulder with any of them for the level of difficulty. It’s not a circuit run multiple times and there are only 3 out-and-backs of 1.7 miles\, .15 mile and .5 mile. There are 6 aid stations\, one of which you hit twice for a total of 6. You’ll top all 6 of the significant peaks in the park (Battie\, Bald Rock\, Derry\, Frohock\, Cameron and Megunticook)\, experience numerous lookouts and cross an abundance of brooks and streams along the way. \nHalfast 20K  8:00 AM\nNew this year\, the rebel Halfast 20k without as many rocks\, roots and summits\, is very different from our other races. A great option for someone wanting to dip their toes into the world of trail running for the first time. Alternatively\, it’s a great course for a runner who wants to test their speed on a faster 20k course. Mainly on wide gravel trail\, only 3.9km of this course are single track. The only summit on this course is Cameron Mountain where to the east you’ll get a view past Bald Rock Mountain to the ocean and to the west you’ll be overlooking Megunticook Lake. You’ll mostly be running on the Multi Use trail which starts as a steep ascent out of the campground and traverses to park all the way to Lincolnville. Here you’ll turn around heading a mile back the way you came before changing course and heading out to Cameron Mountain. The multi use trail is wide and (mostly smooth) but it is not flat. Beside a few short stretches you will either be heading up or down hill. The elevation gain for the whole course is 1\,900 feet. There are 2 aid stations\, one of which you’ll pass twice for a total of 3. \nWicked Tough 10  8:30 AM\nWhile not an ultramarathon\, this 10K is no piece of cake. The views from Battie and the shoulder of Megunticook are stunning and will come at a time when runners will be very inclined to take a short break to enjoy them. With over 1600’ of elevation gain\, this course will test even the most accomplished runner. The majority of the course is on trails through the beautiful woods. But twice\, you’ll break out onto open ledge and have stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and the coastal areas from Acadia to Tenant’s Harbor. This signals the end to an arduous climb and the beginning of a much-appreciated downhill section. But make sure you have your “trail eyes” well trained lest a rock or root grab your foot. Whether a competitive runner wishing to test him/herself against one of the toughest courses around or a fast-walker more interested in exploring the mountains of Mid-Coast Maine\, you will find what you’re looking for in the Wicked Tough Ten. \nSIGN UP HERE

SUMMARY:Tucard 23 at the Watering Hole
DESCRIPTION:A most unnecessarily complicated trail race and a fundraiser in support of an enduring Maine tradition\, Public Access to Private Lands\nTUCARD has no defined course.  Just a start\, an end\, and some waypoints in between that change every year.  At its heart it’s a trail race\, but there is no one way to run or bike or canoe or hot air balloon TUCARD. The race reveals itself over the year prior to race day\, with new rules adding wrinkles to the planning.  The start and end points come first\, the waypoint locations will be announced just before race day\, and the final twist—the super secret sparkle pony rule—is designed to throw your strategy out the window. \nAnd no matter what\, your registration benefits the Orono Land Trust and helps keep public access to private lands—a Maine cultural tradition—alive and well. So\, get ready to get TUCARD!!! \nRegister now\, registration closes August 25.
