Wildlands Trail race
Dead River Trailhead, 24 Don Fish Trail, Orland ME, 04472, USA
The 32nd (2025) Annual Wildlands Summit Run, formerly the Wildlands Trail Run, at Great Pond Mountain promises an exhilarating and fresh experience for participants this year. Established in 1993, this homegrown run has undergone transformations over the years, but nothing this big!
This year, the event unveils an exciting new 6.2-mile route that will challenge the resilience of seasoned runners and introduce newcomers to the breathtaking terrain of Great Pond Mountain. Runners will navigate through forested trails, past scenic lookouts, and over vast granite slabs as they ascend 1,009 feet to the summit of Great Pond Mountain. The course then takes a descent down the mountain, finishing on the Dead River Road at Half-Mile Field where we will gather and celebrate the runner’s accomplishments.
In addition to the Summit Run, we will offer a 1-mile Fun Run, taking runners and walkers down the Picnic Trail, to the banks of the Dead River.
Offering a unique blend of forested mountainside trails and scenic beauty, the 31st edition of the Wildlands Summit Run promises to be a challenging race for runners and walkers. Lace-up your running shoes and join us!
