Peconic Pathfinders | Run-Walk-Hike | Paumanok Path www.peconicpathfinders.org Peconic Pathfinders was formed to find the hidden and lost trails, clean them up, maintain them and guide hikers and runners. We take a strong environmental stance and support local and global environmental groups.
Anyone can hike or run with us for free at every hike, run or activity but you will have to sign a waiver.
Some special events, such as running event, would require a fee as we put on events for fundraisers.
Membership has its benefits. Yearly membership will be from now till the end of 2025.
Membership will give you a voice. We need leaders! We will schedule an organizational meeting to start off the new year.
Membership is free! Optional Donation $10Membership is free, but a donation would help us with membership with Road Runners Club of America and insurance for hikes, runs, events and races.
Membership will put you on our e mail list so we can keep you informed on hikes and runs and special events.
Members can sign up for committees and can chair committees.
We need to know if you are a runner or a hiker and if you would like to be on one or more of our committees.
Committees will be formed for different tasks.

We are proposing a Running Race Series (Hikers Welcome) to benefit community groups and non profits that work with the environment on Long Island. Contact us for more information. We encourage everyone to use the free
