BAR HARBOR, ME - The Mount Desert Island Marathon is seeking a title 
sponsor to help propel the already extremely popular event to the next 
level. The race is set to take place Sunday, Oct 16, 2005 and is held 
entirely on picturesque Mount Desert Island, home to Acadia National Park 
which is one of the most frequently visited national parks in the entire 
USA. It is an easy days drive or less from major east coast metropolitan 
areas. The race was named "The Most Scenic in the USA", featuring Somes 
Sound, the only natural fjord in the Eastern US, and Cadillac Mountain, the 
first place in the continental US to see the sunrise. Other features 
include a point-to-point route starting in world famous Bar Harbor, and 
finishing in charming Southwest Harbor. The beautiful foot race passes 
through 6 quaint island towns and villages while enjoying ocean vistas, 
tranquil lakes, dense forests and spectacular fall foliage. Contact 
 for more information, or visit 
www.mdimarathon.org to sign up to run today.
