Fall: Looking for the perfect destination to run a marathon? Look no further than Maine's pristine, Mount Desert Island Marathon. This area is home to the ever famous Acadia National Park which offers one of the most beautiful and complete vacation spots in the entire United States. The Mount Desert Island Marathon course is in a word, breathtaking! It offers runners birds-eye views of the vast, blue expanse of the Atlantic Ocean, charming island village centers and the pink granite mountains.
During this time of year the forest is at it's peak (almost blinding) fall colors, crystal clear lakes offer a mirror image of the fall colors and then there is Acadia National Park. You can become so distracted by all the sites you may forget you're even running a marathon. This annual marathon has been going strong for over 10 years and this year the marathon will host a guest runner 1984 Olympic Marathon Champion, Joan Benoit Samuelson. So why not go for a run?
