     GOT RUNNING?

    If you love to run and you support running then you've come to the right place! Crow Athletics is the only club on Mount Desert Island dedicated exclusively to supporting runners and the sport of running. Other 'human powered' activities might be fun to participate in, and are perfectly fine with us, but we are a running club first and foremost. WE RUN, period. No matter where you might live, what  your abilities are, or even if you are a visitor to our area we warmly welcome your participation in any of our runs or scheduled events. We have members spread all across North America and are the official host club of the award winning Mount Desert Island Marathon. Our club founded and helps maintain Maine Running History and is actively involved in growing and sustaining our sport by hosting many grass roots races that are held year round.  

    Why Crow, you may ask? Crows like runners are found almost everywhere, will not get out of the road and are far smarter than they are given credit for, not to mention they are fearless and out in all weather. Next time you go on a drive besides pavement, and traffic notice one other thing along the highways and roads of the world...CROWS. We also wanted to adopt a recognizable symbol such as the Boston Athletic Association's  fabled Unicorn. Crows are the symbol we chose to help spread our message, one that would be instantly recognizable to everyone who sees it. We hope you enjoy our sense of humor and will join us. While you're at it, you may as well tell the world you are a Crow, order your race singlet or shirt today! We'd also love to hear what's on your mind, might like to find a running partner,  get some training advice or how your personal running is going, anyone, rather they are members of our organization or not are warmly invited to post a message on Maine's first message board dedicated only to runners and running. Call us what you want, cutting edge or just plain edgy, but being a Crow is all about attitude....Got Running? Caw! Caw! Caw! We do!!







    We are proud members of the following organizations:
