SUNDAY RUNS
Runners of every ability, whether they are a member of our club or not are invited
to join us every Sunday morning at the Brown Mountain gatehouse located on Rt. 198
just past Hadlock Pond near Northeast Harbor. Loops of almost every distance can be
accessed from this starting location. These runs will take place on the famed gravel
carriage roads of Acadia National Park. These Sunday runs will start promptly at 8:00am,
plan to come early to chat or stretch. If you want to let us know you are coming or
find a running partner please
post a message
or just show up.
Below are a few Sunday run options arranged by distance. All start and finish at
Brown Mountain Gatehouse, located on Rt 198 just above Northeast Harbor at 8:00 am
sharp. The mileage was taken from Acadia National Park trail maps and may vary slightly.
If you might not be familiar with the carriage road system we recommend printing and
carrying with you the turn by turn instructions as seen below. All turns correspond
with numbered wooden sign posts located at each intersection.
(for example) R @ 18 indicates a RIGHT turn at signpost
number 18 and L @ 20 indicates a LEFT turn at signpost number
20.
Happy Running we hope to see you EVERY Sunday!

We will be frequently adding many new loops to this list, keep checking here for
more options. All loops are over moderately to extremely hilly terrain. There is no
drinking water available on the carriage roads. We recommend for those that might need
fluids to plan on bringing what you might need. If you are looking for a training
partner post a message with your anticipated pace/distance.
