Run, Walk or Sponsor a Student!

Lace up your sneakers — or get your running shoes on and prepare to challenge yourself! This is a great opportunity to explore the historic village streets of Thomaston, fuel your love of walking or running, and support the youth mentoring programs of Trekkers. In addition to hosting this road race for the local community, Trekkers students and family members will also be walking or running to help raise pledges toward their student dues. Encourage a student to walk or run by making a pledge for each mile they complete! If you’d like to make a pledge in support of one of our students, contact the Trekkers’ office  at 207-594-5095 and we’ll connect you with them!
