The Acadia Half Marathon & 10K is a premier annual event organized by the MDI YMCA in Bar Harbor, Maine. On June 1, 2025, runners can participate in either a 13.1-mile half marathon or a 10K race, both traversing the picturesque Acadia National Park Loop Road. The courses highlight Maine's stunning rocky coastline, mountains, and cliffs, providing participants with memorable vistas throughout the race. Beyond the athletic challenge, the event serves as a significant fundraiser for the YMCA, with proceeds bolstering scholarship programs that ensure community access to health and wellness services. Unique prizes are awarded to the top male, female, and non-binary finishers in both races, along with age group awards.
