Finished the Mount Desert Marathon this last weekend. Ranked the 2d best marathon in the U.S. by Runner’s Magazine. Also ranked the most beautiful marathon. Taking place in Bar Harbor Maine the marathon is very hilly. Some of these hills are hard to walk up let a lone run up. The leafs were at their peak color and most of the marathon was ran beside the ocean.

It was a small marathon of 1000 runners, water stations every 2 miles, and limited toilet facilities. Not a lot of spectators, but everything I was expecting. Don’t expect a new PR with this course. I was a good 30 mins from my PR. A great running experience that I highly recommend to all die hards. Do not make this your first marathon, just too darn hard, but put it on a to do list.
