MDI Marathon news and updates

Posted by MDI 26.2 committee on August 23, 2007, 2:08 pm

Dear MDI Marathoners,
As summer winds down we wanted to share some exciting news and offers.
In a major announcement Runners World has named the 2007 Mount Desert Island Marathon their 'race of the month' and will be featured in the next edition of the magazine. This news promises to help make our 6th edition one of the most exciting and popular yet!
Marathon and Beyond magazine will feature two stories in their next, Sept / Oct edition. One was written by our race director about his epic run with Lance Armstrong in the 2006 NYC Marathon. The other was written by Jamie Anderson a competitor who ran and reports about his experiences during the MDI Marathon last year. http://www.marathonandbeyond.com/

As if running a marathon is not hard enough a couple from St Louis Mo has announced they will be married on the finish line in Southwest Harbor shortly after finishing, Janice Hensler and Rich Bignall who both ran our course last year will return and be married shortly after they finish. All participants and spectators are invited and encouraged to cheer on the new couple and or attend the finish line wedding festivities.
If you haven't done so already consider booking a room now at one of our two host hotels. The Atlantic Oakes features Bar Harbor's only indoor pool as well as a hot tub and fitness center. Shuttle buses run from both directly to the starting line on race morning. The Acadia Inn is located just across the street.
The Atlantic Oakes Resort and Conference Center, http://www.barharbor.com is located at 119 Eden St in Bar Harbor, 800-336-2463 and our co-host hotel The Acadia Inn is located at 98 Eden St http://www.acadiainn.com 800-638-3636
As part of the festivities surrounding this years race officials are pleased to announce that they have added a new runners breakfast to be held on Saturday Oct 13 at the Atlantic Oakes Resort which is also the site of our two day fitness expo and race registration. Runners and their families from all across the USA, Canada and beyond are cordially invited to the breakfast, the public is also encouraged to attend and meet the athletes who will be competing in the 6th annual MDI Marathon which will take place on Sunday Oct 14. The breakfast will also feature a special guest speaker, TBA. Advance reservations are not necessary, breakfast times TBA.
Until the next update, be well and good luck with your training.
Best Regards,
MDI 26.2 Committee
