Time to Hit the Trail!
Amelia Island Runners now have a new running venue! The Amelia Island Trail (AIT) is now officially open and offers runners, walkers and bicyclists 6.2 miles of paved, off-road trail. Construction on the $2.3-million federally-funded project started Oct. 15th last year. It runs between Peters Point Beachfront Park and Amelia Island State Park and is already seeing heavy use by local residents. Amelia Island Runners is a supporter of the AIT and provided a grant in January to the Friends of the Amelia Island Trail to help fund trailside amenities such as a map kiosk, benches and informational signs. We plan to partner with that agency in sponsoring fun runs/rides on the AIT in the future. Come run the AIT!
