The Crow Athletics Running Club
was founded in 1991 and is based on beautiful Mount Desert Island, Maine.
We seek to support and encourage the sport of running in Maine, New England, the
United States and beyond. We welcome runners of all ages and abilities to join our
group to participate in our activities in support of runners and running.

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!!
