BRIDGTON — The 2020 Trek for the Trails, which supports the Loon Echo Land Trust preserved land, will be held throughout September.
There are many ways for individuals and families to participate in the Trek this year:
1. Visit any LELT trail or preserve throughout the month of September and hike, walk, bike (on select trails), stroll, or take in the view from the top of Hacker’s Hill.
2. Take on the challenge of visiting four LELT preserves over the course of the month with the Trek Passport.
3. For trail runners, a 5.6-mile route on Pleasant Mountain via a Strava segment to compete for pie.
Trekkers have the whole month of September to complete their Trek. The entire registration fee goes to support the trust’s trails. There is no fee for those 16 and under. Registration online at www.lelt.org/trek up until Wednesday, Sept. 30.
All Trek participants will automatically be entered into a raffle for prizes from local businesses. Trek for the Trails is Loon Echo Land Trust’s largest annual fundraising event. Money raised helps the Loon Echo steward over 8,000 acres of land and 30-plus miles of trail in the Lake Region.
