Activities
Thank you for a very successful event and for everyone who participated…see you next year!
Sheriff’s Meadow Foundation welcomes you to its First Annual Trail Run! The inaugural run will take place on Sunday, October 15, 2023 along the trails of Caroline Tuthill Preserve, an expanse of over 150 acres of oak and pitch pine forest, salt marsh, and open meadow located in Edgartown. Beginning at the field along Edgartown-Vineyard Haven Road, the trail run consists of a 3.2-mile loop through the pitch pine forest continuing on circuitous paths past salt marshes down to Sengekontacket Pond and back. The terrain begins in a field and includes a short section of paved bike path before entering the Preserve, where you will encounter a mix of sand and dirt paths before reaching a 160-foot raised boardwalk and ending back at the field.
*There is no cost to register for the event. Any contributions will support our work to conserve the natural, beautiful, rural landscape and character of Martha’s Vineyard for present and future generations.
Parking will be available at the Edgartown Park-and-Ride which is located by the Edgartown triangle and is free of charge.
