The premier event of Crow Athletics, the Mount Desert Island Marathon Marathon is one of the sport's top destination running events, drawing drawing entrants from all over the United States, Canada, and Beyond.

Our course features a stunningly scenic and hilly route that RUNS along the Atlantic Ocean and lakes, and through forests and quaint New England villages.

Runners more than welcome our challenging course, as well as the stunningly beautiful backdrop of Acadia National Park during peak fall foliage season. Our course has been advertised as hilly and tough from day one, thus the philosophy behind this amazing marathon. We believe our course is a true test and a breathtaking journey; many race directors appear obsessed about digits on a clock, rather than the necessary details needed to host on a quality event.

When planning a marathon, the top priority should be a great course. The times that have been posted here in the past prove that difficult courses can also be fast courses. We have had the honor of hosting the fastest winning marathon times clocked in the state of Maine for both men and women in several editions.

We may not feel that the words "marathon" and "easy" belong in the same sentence, but we do agree that "marathon" and "beauty" certainly belong together for our course.

Come run with us and you'll see and feel how marathon running was meant to be!
