Wahaneeta 5K Trail Run- Westerly Track & Athletic Club
2023-09-23
Start times
8:00am: Registration opens
9:00am: 5K race starts
9:45am: Kids 1K race starts
Course Description
The terrain of the course is entirely dirt trails, with some technical single-track. In order to minimize bunching up at the race start, the course will first run across a short grass field before continuing on double-track for approximately one-half mile. Most of the rest of the course will be on single-track and include challenges such as stream crossings on narrow wooden bridges, hills, and rock gardens. During the course of the race, you will cross streams multiple times, with most but not all having bridge crossings. The course is very spectator friendly, as the start/finish is in the same area, and during the course of the race runners will pass through the start/finish area twice before finishing. Runners and walkers are welcome.
Location
5K course starting and finishing at Wahaneeta Preserve. Purchased by the Westerly Land Trust in 2012, this is a 72-acre conservation property that was run as “Camp Wahaneeta” by the Girl Scouts of RI from 1941 to 1996.

Volunteer Stewardship Day
2024-02-25 11:00 - 13:00
Come help WLT’s stewardship efforts at Cottrell Family Preserve as we continue to restore a small meadow near the Pawcatuck River. Over the years, the invasive plant autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata) has encroached on the former pasture, limiting the meadow’s capacity for biodiversity and native plants.
Volunteers will use hand tools, selective herbicide application and build brush piles for wildlife while learning about meadow restoration and why it is important. It’ll be beautiful and fun, too!
Email Marc at mdoherty@westerlylandtrust.org to learn more and sign up! Capacity is limited to 15 volunteers.
Cottrell Family Preserve
Sunday, February 25th from 11am to 1pm

Spring Equinox: Yoga Hike-POSTPONED to 3/27

Due to inclement weather, this hike is postponed until Wednesday, March 27. Please contact Lauren at lbarber@westerlylandtrust.org with any questions.

Celebrate the arrival of Spring and embark on a mindful adventure through the forest where we will practice yoga and welcome new beginnings.

The Spring Equinox is a perfect time to get outside and take notice of nature during a period of rapid change and vibrant growth. Join hike leader and local yoga teacher, Janice Fifer, for a grounding experience through the forest of Grills Preserve.
This experience will begin at the trailhead with centering and a short breathing practice, followed by a mindful walk to the Polly Coon Bridge where we will mediate with the sounds of the river rushing over the rocks. On your way to Big Hill, we invite you to draw inspiration from plants and animals that reawaken this time of year. A series of standing yoga poses will be strategically sprinkled into this experience throughout the hike where we will pause to stretch, breath, and balance amongst the trees.
We will cover ~ 3 miles total. No need for a yoga mat. Consider bringing an old towel or garden kneeling cushion to make sitting on the ground more comfortable. All levels welcome, no yoga experience necessary.
Registration required, spots are limited. This event is FREE for members, and $10 per person for non-members. Not a member and would like to be? CLICK HERE!
