Nature Up North's annual trail run is back!
We're excited to invite you to join us for the 9th Annual Earth Day 7K Trail Run/Walk on Saturday, April 19tht, 2025, at 9:00 am. One of the few annual trail races in the North Country, proceeds from this race benefit local conservation and environmental education initiatives.
Race day registration for this race opens at 9am, or you can register ahead of time. Walkers are welcome to start their race as early as 10am, and are encouraged to start before 10:30 when the runners begin. All participants will start and finish the race at the Wachtmeister Field Station. Runner's times will be recorded and available after the event. To register, follow this link: https://www.givecampus.com/schools/StLawrenceUniversity/events/9th-annual-earth-day-7k-walk-run?preview=true
The flat 7 kilometer (approximately 4.4 miles) course connects the Kip and Saddlemire Trails at St. Lawrence University, passing through scenic forests and wetlands along the Little River. The flat terrain makes this course suitable for runners and walkers of all fitness levels. The course will be well marked with volunteers at major intersections and maps available at race start. Short road segments connect the longer stretches of trail. Be prepared for a few muddy sections.
Join us after the race for raffle prizes and refreshments! In the past, we’ve had t-shirts as well, but to keep with the spirit of Earth Day decided to limit the potential for waste this year. Instead, try to create your own “Earth Day Ensemble” of clothing for the race to show off your unique style!
The race fee is $25 for general admittance and $15 for students. Youth 12 and under are free. All proceeds for this event will benefit local conservation and environmental education projects in the North Country!
