The Power of Community.
Our Move Free Run Club meets multiple times throughout the week and explores the roads and trails of Mount Desert Island and beyond. Our hope is to inspire adventure and foster connection with each other and the natural world. Movement heals and is good for the soul. We welcome and celebrate people of all races, nationalities, ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender identities & expressions, ages, and abilities. Come move free with us!
