Weekly Quarry Road Trail Race Series Starts Tuesday, June 2

5/27/2015

 
PictureRace the trails of Waterville's Quarry Road this summer.
Now in its third year, the Quarry Road Summer Race Series kicks off on Tuesday, June 2, at 6 p.m. with a 3K trail race. This fun, family-friendly race series is open to runners of all ages and abilities. Register now.

The Tuesday night, trail running series features nine races of alternating 3K, 5K, and 8K lengths at Waterville's Quarry Road Recreation Area. Each week there will be prizes for the top male and female finishers, as well as raffle prizes for all participating runners, thanks to local sponsors. 

A free Kids Fun Run of approximately 1K will be held for children 12 and under at 5:30 p.m. before each race. 

Register Today! 
Runners can pre-register online for the entire Quarry Road Summer Race series by Monday, June 1, or by hard copy until the first race of the series on June 2. Registration for the series is $45 and includes entry to all nine races and a Summer Race Series Tech Tee ($20 value). Day-of, single race registration is $5 and opens at 5 p.m.

Series Winners

Your fastest time in each distance will determine your cumulative series time. 

Want even more local trail running? Run each Quarry Road race distance and three 5Ks at Augusta's Bond Brook 5K summer trail series and you're eligible to win the overall Central Maine Trail Challenge.
