The Experience
This half marathon, first run in 1979 and now in its 31st year, offers a unique journey through Maine's scenic Acadia National Park. Runners traverse nine miles of the park's historic, hard-packed carriage roads, originally built by John D. Rockefeller Jr. to avoid automobiles.
The course begins in the charming fishing town of Bar Harbor before venturing into the park. Participants will experience the dense forest, crossing antique granite bridges as the route loops back to town. With approximately 246 finishers recently, drawing runners from about 33 states, this race offers a distinctive blend of history and natural beauty.
Finishers receive medals, and participants receive T-shirts. The race, held annually, is noted for its historic route and the serene, wooded environment of Acadia National Park.
