Third Annual Earth Day 7K Trail Run/Walk to take place in Canton Sunday

Posted

CANTON -- Nature Up North and the St. Lawrence Land Trust invite you to join us for the Third Annual Earth Day 7K Trail Run/Walk on Sunday, April 22.

Walkers set out at 9:30 a.m. and runners at 10 a.m. from the Wachtmeister Field Station on Route 27 in Canton.

The 7-kilometer (approximately 4.4-mile) 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 a 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.

Pre-register by emailing info@natureupnorth.org with name, age, gender (optional) and plan to run or walk the course. Registering ahead is encouraged, but people may also sign up in person on race day.

There is a suggested donation of $5 to 20. Proceeds will be split between the St. Lawrence Land Trust and Nature Up North, and will benefit local conservation and environmental education projects.

Bagels, fruit and water will be available after the race, and there will be a prize raffle with chances to win local maple syrup, gift certificates to local businesses, and Nature Up North shirts and hats.
