Lace up and hit the seaside trails of Odiorne Point State Park in Rye, NH. What better way to support our team’s wildlife conservation, educational outreach, and public safety initiatives. This event is presented by our sponsor, Meredith Village Savings Bank, as well as supporting sponsors New Hampshire State Parks.

The day includes a 5K trail race through Odiorne Point State Park featuring varied terrain—you’ll run, or walk, through the forest, by the rocky shore, across a sandy beach, and alongside historic military fortifications—and enjoy sweeping vistas of the Gulf of Maine and Little Harbor. Following the race, we’ll welcome participants, along with their families and friends, back to Seacoast Science Center, where prizes will be awarded. Then watch our littlest runners in our Kids Fun Runs, featuring a 300-yard dash for ages 1-7 and a half-mile run for children ages 8-12. We’ll end the day with a Beach Cleanup along the shoreline in the Park, hosted by our partners at Blue Ocean Society.
