Hacker’s Hill 4-mile Preservation Walk and Run will take place Saturday, Aug. 11, as part of the ongoing fundraising for Loon Echo’s newest preserve.
Hacker’s Hill in Casco has been the focus of the organization’s campaign efforts, and with just more than $150,000 remaining to meet the $800,000 selling price and establish a permanent endowment, Loon Echo will be hosting a series of events to assist in these endeavors.
The course will have runners and walkers striding uphill on Quaker Ridge Road, finally ending atop Hacker’s Hill with stunning views of the mountains and lakes. The cost to runners and walkers is $20/adult, $15/children and youth. Registration starts at 7:30 a.m. and runners will take off at 8:30 a.m. with walkers to follow.
All proceeds from this event will go to the protection and stewardship of Hacker’s Hill. For more information on this or other Hacker’s Hill events visit www.loonecholandtrust.org or email trek@lelt.org. Visit www.runreg.com/Net/3208 to register online.
