Edge Hill Trail Race

We extend our gratitude to all the runners who participated in the inaugural Edge Hill Trail Run on June 29th 2024. This event was a collaboration between the Franklin Land Trust and Beast Coast Trail Running.

The race started and ended at the Edge Hill Conservation Area—a property with a rich history as a farm and golf course, and a promising future as a wildlife habitat.

Acquired in the fall of 2023, this former golf course is poised to undergo habitat restoration in the coming months and years, as the Franklin Land Trust begins restoring wetlands altered by past development, in collaboration with the Massachusetts’ Department of Fish & Game.

Your registration fee directly contributed to the Franklin Land Trust's goal of turning Edge Hill's fairways into the kind of thriving grassland and shrubland habitat that is increasingly rare in Franklin County’s rolling hills.

Your registration fee will also help the Franklin Land Trust conserve more endangered land in Franklin County and beyond.

Thank you for running with purpose, championing conservation, and contributing to FLT's mission of preserving the land for future generations
