The Quarry Road Summer Running Series is a fun, family-friendly series of weekly trail running races. Our goal is to provide a summer of great experiences, camaraderie, and competition for runners in the greater Waterville area.

Each Tuesday evening participants will compete on courses of varying lengths from 3 km to 8 km, utilizing the full extent of the Quarry Road trail system. We will also be offering a virtual race option for those unable to attend in person.

Join us for a single race, or participate all summer long to compete for the overall series title.

Dirt Road Mile

For the 2025 season, We will offer the 1 mile race on 8/5 to all ages (no kids fun run). The event is a standalone race in the summer series,  and does not count toward overall summer running series standings.  There will also be the 3rd and final 8km in the series run concurrently.  Series registrants can choose one or the other, but only the 8km will count for series standings.
