Blue Hill Mountain Trail Fest 5k/10k/50k

Blue Hill Mountain Trail Fest is a multi-distance race and gathering in celebration of the mountain overlooking the coastal town of Blue Hill. Runners and hikers of all abilities are welcome, with your choice of distance:

5k- starting at the Mountain Rd field, runners will turn onto Mountain Rd, run a short out-and back on Post Office Trail before continuing up Osgood Trail to summit, then down the Service Road trail, returning to the start/finish.

10k- one “upper loop” on the figure-eight profile for a first summit just as the 5k runners will do, then a full figure-eight loop along Mountain Rd, down Pleasant St, turning onto the Post Office Trail head. Continuing up Post Office Trail to Osgood Trail, runner will complete a second summit and descent for a 10k(+). 

25k- Three full figure-eight loops, followed by the shorter "upper loop"

50k- 7 full figure-eight loops. 

You’ll be awestruck at the beauty as you traverse fields of wildflowers and up densely-forested technical trail, only to be greeted by coastal vistas second-to-none.

Keep the earbuds out as your cross the finish line or pass through the hub, depending on your distance, because we have a live steel pan band posted up in the Mountain Field; a festive occasion that celebrates you, the runners, the community, and beloved Blue Hill Mountain. 

Profits from the event will be transferred to the Wabanaki Alliance.
