Events - Jun 29 21

The American Lung Association’s 2021 Trek Across Maine has been reimagined into a virtual Cycle Your Way format now through June 30th! Cycling is a great way to improve both your physical and mental health, while giving an extra boost to your immune system. We encourage you to participate in the virtual event as this allows you to get outside while still practicing social distancing!

Money raised will support public health efforts related to lung disease, including COVID-19 research. Over the next three years, the American Lung Association has pledged $25 million to:

• Provide free lung health education and masks to those in need.
• Protect public health by advocating for COVID and flu vaccines in underserved communities of color.
• Prevent future outbreaks by investing in respiratory virus research.

What: If you choose to participate in the cycling portion of the virtual event, complete 60, 120 or 180 miles on an indoor or outdoor bike (or mix of both) at your own pace and in segments if preferred. All virtual participants that raise the minimum $250 by June 30th will receive an accomplishment medal and event t-shirt. You can earn incentives the more you raise!

When: Now through June 30^th, 2021.

Where: Anywhere you’d like, just make sure to always practice social distancing. Sample routes throughout Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts will be provided as well.

How: Visit the event website (TrekAcrossMaine.org) and register as a virtual participant for $25. You will receive everything you need to successfully complete the virtual event from there!

Extras: Join our  Trek Across Maine Group on Strava. You can connect your tracking devices to the Strava app so others can see your progress. We also encourage you to join our Trek Across Maine group to stay in touch with other participants and post photos of your ride/screenshots of your progress.

The Bowdoin International Music Festival’s 2021 season is back in Brunswick! Over 200 students and 50 faculty and guest chamber-music artists will be on the campus of Bowdoin College for a dynamic summer of performance and learning. Concerts, masterclasses, conversations with composers and more are available throughout the day, for a full schedule and to sign up for event announcements, visit www.bowdoinfestival.org 

While the Festival community is overjoyed to make music in person again, we are not able to invite public audiences back to the recital hall yet due to our COVID protocols and campus agreement with Bowdoin College.

All concerts and events will be live-streamed online from the college’s beautiful state-of-the art Studzinski Recital Hall for free. (No in-person public seating available this summer.)
