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
