5K race scheduled for 8am, Saturday, October 13, at Bar Harbor Pat’s Pizza at 6 Pleasant Street.

This race through a portion of the Park Loop Road in beautiful Acadia National Park offers breathtaking views of the fall foliage along the mountain and the Great Meadow Loop. Our 3rd annual, Running For Rides is a fundraiser/memorial race for Mary Parker.

Mary worked for Island Connections as the Transportation Coordinator for 7 years before having to step down due to her cancer diagnosis and treatment schedule.  This Annual race was created to honor and celebrate Mary’s passion for Island Connections’ mission, our neighbors and volunteers. This is a race for runners and walkers alike.  Furry family members are invited on leash.  All proceeds benefit Island Connections.
