♻️ Sustainability Commitment

The Mount Desert Island YMCA is committed to environmentally conscious and sustainable racing, as our course travels through Acadia National Park. A large amount of our waste is paper cups, in fact over 6000 cups per race! We are making steps over the next few years to move to "cupless" events.

💧 Participant Guidelines

• Reusable Options: For 2026, we are encouraging participants to bring their own reusable cup, handheld water bottle or hydration pack.
• Paper Cups: We will still have paper cups at all 6 water stations this year.
• Waste Reduction: With your help we can start reducing our waste and impact on our sensitive environment.
• Thank You: Thank you for helping us protect and maintain the natural beauty of Acadia National Park!
