Greetings to all Maine runners from Eden Athletics on Mount Desert Island!

In hopes of enriching state-wide running acquaintanceships and, especially, developing friendly relations with other Maine running clubs, Eden Athletics would like to invite you and your club members to join us on July 1st and 2nd 2006 for a weekend of running on many of our favorite routes on Mount Desert Island -- from our bread-and-butter carriage trail loops such as Eagle Lake to spectacular up-and-down challenges such as Cadillac Mountain.

Doesn't matter whether you want to burn some big miles with us or prefer just to kick back and enjoy a weekend of tourist life. We promise good comraderie, paces of all varieties to suit everyone from casual walkers to the sickest speed demon, and enough beautiful miles to make your travel worth it. We promise.

Additionally, we'll buy the first round Saturday night, help you find accommodations, and even put you up on our living room floors if that's what it takes to get you here so we can show you who we are and what it is that we love about running on Mount Desert Island.

Entry fee? There is no stinking entry fee. This is no race; it's group running at its best. But, if you want to run fast, we'll find a place for you to do it in good company, time you if you want, and even throw in a couple of rabbits for you to chase.

New England Runner recently suggested that there's something in the water here that makes good runners. We don't think it's the water exactly, but there is something special here. Come here anytime and we'll happily share it with you.

So mark your calendars and we'll see you here in July.
