Trek Across Maine and on the Trail
This year the Friends of the Kennebec River Rail Trail is thrilled that the 35th annual 2019 Trek Across Maine cycle ride features a new route, which includes the 6.5 miles of our Rail Trail from Augusta, through Hallowell and Farmingdale to Gardiner.
Excerpt from CentralMaine.com article:
“Some 2,000 cyclists will follow a new Trek Across Maine route in 2019, one that will include a trip through the state capital.
The ride will pass through several Kennebec Valley communities this summer, including a trip through downtown Augusta and onto the Kennebec River Rail Trail through Hallowell, Farmingdale and into Gardiner. Riders will finish where they started the event, in Brunswick.”
“… the new route was selected by a group of volunteers, including veteran cyclists who rode the entire route before endorsing it.”

Then join us on the trail!
The 6.5 mile Kennebec River Rail Trail welcomes locals and visitors alike for walking, running, cycling, skateboarding, rollerblading, and dog walking. The trail parallels the existing rail bed along the Kennebec River, and stretches from Augusta Maine’s Waterfront Park, through the towns of Hallowell and Farmingdale, to its conclusion in the city of Gardiner, Maine.
The Friends of the Kennebec River Rail Trail was formed as a non-profit in 1996 to assist in the construction, maintenance and promotion of the 6.5 mile long rail trail from Augusta to Gardiner Maine. As a non-profit, the Friends of the Kennebec River Rail Trail relies on its members for financial support and volunteering to assist in the maintenance of the trail as well as financial contributions from business and foundations.
We welcome your support, both financial gifts and donations of time for doing volunteer work on the trail. For more information, please contact us at:
