And it is . . . . . . .
Mount Desert Island, Bar Harbor, Maine!
Continually ranked as one of (if not THE) most scenic marathon courses in North America, it runs all along Mount Desert Island in Acadia National Park.
You may have read about it in a recent Runner's World where it was chosen Most Scenic and 2nd Best Overall Marathon:
We are SO excited! We love picking out our races in advance, because we always have something to look forward to!

Oh God! That on is on my MUST do list! Looks just gorgeous!! I love having my races planned out too. Still deciding on the fall!
Awesome! There is a very good chance my mom and I will be doing this next year too!!!
This one looks like so much fun, so gorgeous. The best of the best!
I just ran this 2 days ago. IT WAS GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!! Try to make it a really long weekend to hang out and enjoy the island and explore. There are a few campgrounds there you can stay at to save some money then spend in on playing tourist. Lots of trails to explore and you can go on boat tours too. Excellent choice.
Looks great! Way more scenic than Baystate!
Wow, that is some great planning! Sounds beautiful!
Looks like a beautiful race! You will both enjoy it.
Looks like a great race! :)
This one (and Big Sur) are definitely on my MUST do list. Maybe I will join you in 2011???
