The second annual 2020 Bad Little Trail Run is set to take place on Sunday, October 4.

The Downeast Coastal Conservancy and the Bold Coast Runners will be hosting these 2.5 and seven-mile races through the Machias River Preserve. Racers will run the Sunrise Trail and cross the Machias River on the Old Railroad Bridge, beginning and ending in Whitneyville.

The Passamaquoddy meaning for Machias is bad little falls in reference to the falls on the Machias River which gives this race its name.
