About the 2027 Acadia Half Marathon and 10K
The course follows the loop road through Acadia National Park, tracing the rocky coastline with ocean views most of the way around. The road is paved and the terrain rolls with the natural contour of the park, passing cliffs and shoreline rather than cutting through neighborhoods. It runs on the quiet side of the park early in the morning, and the scenery does a lot of the work.
Bibs must be picked up before race morning at the YMCA; the organizers make no exceptions to that policy. The start is a short walk from the YMCA on Livingston Ave, and the finish is on the ballfields right next to it. This is a cupless event, so bring a handheld bottle or hydration pack, or plan on the reusable cup handed out at bib pickup.
