The 41st Annual Trek Across Maine
THE 41st ANNUAL TREK ACROSS MAINE:
Join the American Lung Association for the 41st annual Trek Across Maine on Father’s Day Weekend – June 13-15, 2025! Choose our traditional 3-day, 180-mile option, or do it your own way, virtually. The ride starts and ends at the scenic Pineland Farms in New Gloucester, Maine, with acres of lush woods and beautiful farmland. While riding the Trek you will travel through the rolling hills of central Maine, riding through many memorable Maine towns, including Freeport with a stop at the iconic LL Bean, with views of the wild lupines and serene Maine lakes and rivers along the way. Overnight stops at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, and St. Joseph’s College in Standish, Maine, provide a place to rest and relax after each leg of the Trek. Activities, entertainment and food are all a part of the full Trek experience at each location. Our ride is fully equipped with volunteers, local and state law enforcement, and support vehicles along the route. There are three rest stops daily with fresh snacks and drinks for you to refuel before continuing your ride.
VIRTUAL OPTION - for those that can’t get away, but still want to raise money and support the American Lung Association! Record your miles virtually and raise your minimum by June 30, 2025, to earn your commemorative t-shirt and medal!
