The MDI race is fantastic. The course is beautiful, skirting between Acadia and the Atlantic (technically it might be a bay) at a time of the season when the leaves are exploding in color. Not really a PR course though - had I been pushing the limit, there were hills at mile 20 and mile 23+ that might have broke me. They have good beer from Atlantic Brewing and food at the finish line, and if you don't want to be among the crowd there are several pubs in the small town of Northeast Harbor. We went to one such place and $100 had a lobster so fresh that it had to have been crawling around happily on the ocean floor around the time I passed the halfway point. I had a hot dog and fries at this place, and that was a damn good lunch!
I've notified Strava, we'll see if I really do get a pair of shoes.

Acadia is beautiful. I've been there more times than I can count but oddly just once in the fall.
Looking forward to some hiking pictures.
I just clicked your link. I didn't know that Atlantic Brewing was in that location. That used to be Bar Harbor Brewing. Used to always sit by a fire drinking their Thunder Hole Ale and Cadillac Mt Stout.
We spent quite a bit of time at that Atlantic Brewing location!
