“This is not a sanctioned run by Acadia National Park.” This is a self-aided trail run among friends. All runners will be treated the same. No-prizes, no awards, and no entry fee. Just a good old-fashioned run on some of the best trails on MDI. Each entrant will receive a water proof map on the day of the run. The course follows established trails and each entrant will be responsible to follow the route on the map. There will be no course marshals, special markings or guides on the course. Follow the ANP existing markings along the trail.(Blue Paint, and wooden posts.) We will time the run and send out results to those filling out an envelope. There is no entry fee to run. The only cost is 5$ for food and 5$ for transportation if needed. Please check and complete below. Potluck item’s will be welcome and can be transported to the finish. In a trail run tradition began with this event each finish will get a donut and a toe tag. I also send photos with the results.
