The Coastal Trails Coalition is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization whose mission is to assist in the development of the Coastal Trails Network, a public system of bicycle and pedestrian trails connecting the Massachusetts communities of Amesbury, Newbury, Newburyport and Salisbury and adjacent towns. Coastal Trail Coalition trails have been designated as sections of the East Coast Greenway that stretches from the U.S./Canadian border to Key West FL. Please visit us at CoastalTrails.org.

See you at the “Race”!
