Community brings school trail to life
BY FRITZ FREUDENBERGER
The Community School District opened its expanded trail system this year thanks to collaborative efforts between the schools and a dedicated group of community volunteers and supporters. Primarily for Seahawk athletics, the trail system is also open to the public and was used for the 2024 Boothbay Region Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day.
Cross-country coach Nick Scott said the expansion is a fantastic opportunity for the community to have more outdoor space, and the running program to host meets on its own turf. The trail is a mile-and-a-half long mix of graveled and mulched path behind the school campus, a mix of hills and flat sections through fields and woods.
