Larry....EXCELLENT !! Internet doesn't tell you that entry fees in to races in Maine, Ma., & Ct. (.25) & the A.A.U. card was .50 for the year.. most prizes donated to keep intrest high..B
: Some people think the world (if not the world
: of Maine running) began with the
: internet....sad but true. Even more so; how
: painfully obvious it is that they are
: pompous, arrogant, pretentious, uncivilized
: phonies!

: We get many...here is one of the latest.
:
: Question. When were Crows first associated
: with running in Maine and on Mount Desert
: Island?
:
: Answer. If you click the URL below:
: http://crowrunning.com/background_crow.html
: then scroll to the bottom, you'll see two
: actual vintage copies of Mainely Running
: Magazine. The first shows the cover then on
: an inside page it shows that the 'Road
: Crows' were in fact running out of
: Northeast Harbor on Sundays in the spring of
: 1991. The second shows another Mainely
: Running Magazine cover from 1992 with a
: picture and caption as first published and
: seen inside this issue. These are the
: beginnings of our club and the earliest
: known printed references to our club's
: existance.
:
: We like the Boston Athletic Association BAA
: have been around for a fairly long time.
: (but not quite a hundred+ years, yet!) An
: interesting fun fact about the evolution of
: an athletic club is the fabled Unicorn the
: BAA now uses as their symbol. It did not
: come along until many years after they were
: formed.
:
: As you can see Runners on MDI began
: competing as Crows starting in the spring of
: 1991 and have evolved since. The invention
: of the Internet and the eventual web site we
: created was a important moment in our
: history but not the beginning.
