Mount Desert Island Marathon

The Mount Desert Island Marathon, Half & Relay is North America?��Ǩ�Ѣs premier destination road race. The award-winning course features miles of pristine terrain passing tranquil lakes, soaring mountains, sleepy Maine villages, and stunning seaside vistas ?��Ǩ���including Somes Sound, the only fjord on the Eastern Seaboard?��Ǩ��� all set against the awe-inspiring backdrop of Acadia National Park in peak fall foliage season. The Marathon and Team Relay start in the world-famous Bar Harbor, while the Half-Marathon starts in the well-to-do village of Northeast Harbor. All three races finish in the hardworking lobster fishing community of Southwest Harbor. Held annually the weekend following Indigenous Peoples?��Ǩ�Ѣ Day, this fall classic has earned national and international accolades. Once you #RunMDI, you?��Ǩ�Ѣll see why!
