Run for Conservation
The Wildlands Trust will present the second annual Run for Conservation, featuring a half trail, half road course and a special barefoot division. The race will start at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, June 9, in DCR’s Myles Standish State Forest in Plymouth. The event is great for individual runners and walkers, families, and teams of friends and colleagues. The event will also include an Eco-Fair with educational displays and hands-on activities for children and adults. Prizes will be awarded to the top male and female in the barefoot division, the top three males and females overall, and to the top male and female in each age group. Vibram FiveFingers will be allowed in the barefoot division.
Preregistration is recommended, but race day registration will also be available at additional cost.

All proceeds from the race will support the efforts of Wildlands Trust to save land in Southeastern Massachusetts. The Run for Conservation is a member of the Bayside Runner Racing Series. The Wildlands Trust is a member-supported nonprofit land conservation organization founded in 1973 to preserve the rich natural heritage of Southeastern Massachusetts. The organization now protects more than 6,500 acres in 34 communities with nearly 4,000 acres open to the public. Visit the website to learn more about properties in your area.
