Description

"The Mount Agamenticus Conservation Region consists of more than 10,000 acres and is located within an additional 30,000 acre expanse of conservation land in southern Maine...The mountain and the surrounding area provide residents with an ideal location for hiking, biking and sightseeing. While most of Southern Maine is heavily developed, this stretch of conservation land is a natural treasure that will be preserved for the enjoyment of generations to come." From http://agamenticus.org/

There are many trails to choose from to hit the 3 distinct hills including Mt. A itself, Second Hill and Third Hill. This route starts and ends at the Ring Trail trailhead at Mountain Road. Hit all 3 peaks and return back to this spot. The only rule is that ***running the paved MT. A road doesn't count*** This is just meant to keep everyone safe as the hairpin turns can be a bit hairy with cars. 

These trails and hills are run very often by those on the Southern Maine and NH seacoast -I foresee this FKT will get lots of traffic and breed some some blazing fast times!
