2013 Race Wrap-up

Both rain and sun were held at bay for the 7th edition of the Salmon River 5.5 Mile Run, keeping the weather at near perfect conditions for running. A record 301 runners came out to enjoy friendly competition, gorgeous scenery, and a nice post race BBQ and we would like to extend our sincerest thanks to you all for your part in furthering the efforts of the Colchester Land Trust!

37 year old Tim Cote of Brooklyn, NY handily won the event for a third straight year, finishing with a time of 31:16 and 26 year old Nidia Gonzalez-Lope was the first woman to cross the finish with a time of 37:57. Complete results may be found here. We look forward to seeing you all next year!

In keeping with our conservation mission, the Colchester Land Trust strives to achieve sustainability in all aspects of the Salmon River Run. The race features local post-race foods, artesian well water from the Salmon River State Park, recycled art glass prizes, sustainable t-shirts, reduction of waste and recycling of materials, and is followed by an awesome post-race BBQ and awards ceremony. We'll even find a home for your old running shoes! More details...

...supporting the work of the Colchester Land Trust

Your participation in the Salmon River Run helps to fund the preservation of open space in Colchester, which in turn helps to ensure that clean drinking water, food security, scenic landscapes, wildlife habitat and recreational opportunities in the area are maintained for present and future generations.

To date, the Colchester Land Trust has had a hand in the preservation of over 300 acres in Colchester and we need your support. We are an all volunteer nonprofit organization working to permanently protect open space in Colchester. Protecting land takes time and requires funding. Please consider becoming a member or making a contribution to our efforts!
