Fall is a perfect time of year in the Northeast. Outside your window, vibrant red, yellow and orange leaves gleam against a pure blue sky. The sun shines freely without being hindered by the humidity of the summer, and the contrast of warm sun and cool breeze create the perfect conditions for a run. Whether you are an experienced runner who has never run on a trail, or you are completely new to running, fall is the perfect opportunity to explore the vast and differing trail systems that Maine has to offer. From accessible trails maintained by local land trusts to rugged mountains, there is a running trail for everyone.
