Chose to run this for my first ever marathon because it has won awards for being one of the most beautiful courses in the US. I can see why! This year (2025) the marathon fell at peak fall foliage in the Bar Harbor/Acadia area and the weather was sunny and cooler (high 40s to low 60s). The scenery was breathtaking with the fall colors and the coastal views. Completely stunning!
The course itself was difficult. My Garmin recorded the course having ~1700ft of elevation gain and constant hills. The first 6 miles have very long hills with one of them at a 150ft climb. After that, from mile 6 to mile 21 has some steep rolling hills that are a bit smaller. The end of the course is by far the most brutal with 4mi of uphill, a steep descent, and then another uphill towards the finish. There are some portions of the course where roads are not closed to traffic, but there are cones on the side of the road to make a path for the runners. No pacers or GPS tracking, but they do track a few checkpoints during the race. This year there were around 800 participants.
Support during the race was great – there was an aid station every two miles and bathrooms every ~5mi or so. It is very much an event that the locals support and the town of Bar Harbor makes festive. During marathon weekend there’s lots of live music in the town and special dinner menus for runners at restaurants.
Overall, I thought the race was great. Loved the energy of the town and locals supporting the race that whole weekend. Beautiful scenery with the fall colors and I even got to see the Milky Way at night! Would definitely recommend. Don’t let the hills scare you off! I saw so many other first time marathoners there!

Flat course with a hill at the end, the weather this year was around 70F and cloudy. Caught the cherry blossoms at the tail end of the season, but last blooms were still beautiful. Scenery was great running by the monuments and Potomac River. Very well organized during the day of the race.
