From the mountains of Sunday River to the sea in Belfast, Maine, enjoy the beautiful scenery as you ride 180 miles across the state in support of the mission of the American Lung Association. Overnight acommodations are provided at the University of Maine at Farmington and at Colby College in Waterville. The Trek is a ride not a race...All experience levels are welcome! Trekkers are required to raise $500 in order to ride, along with a non-refundable $50 registration fee.
Since safety is a priority, children under the age of 7 cannot participate in the Trek Across Maine. Children between the ages of 7-12 MUST ride on a tandem bike or tag-a-long and all children under 18 must have an adult guardian (limit three children supervised per adult). For children ages 7-17, the minimum pledge total is $400.
