Description
10th Annual Earth Day 7K Trail Run/Walk
Nature Up North is excited to invite you to join them for the 10th Annual Earth Day 7K Trail Run & Walk.
One of the few annual trail races in the North Country, this race's proceeds benefit local conservation and environmental education initiatives. Walkers can start at 10:00 am, with runners starting at 10:30 am at the Wachtmeister Field Station.
Runners' times will be recorded and available after the event.
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 all major intersections. Short road segments connect the longer stretches of trail.
Be prepared for a few muddy sections!
Join us after the race for awards, a prize raffle, and refreshments!
In the past, we’ve had t-shirts as well, but to keep with the spirit of Earth Day, we 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.

Following the races, we'll be drawing at 12 p.m. for raffles for several baskets donated by local groups and businesses.
Stick around after the race to enjoy some snacks and see if you won!
