Meeting Spot:
We will gather pre and post run by the gazebo at the Bar Harbor Village Green in the center of town. Our run leaders will try to be there 5 to 10 minutes before 6 pm to welcome everyone.
Parking Options:
Metered parking is available throughout Bar Harbor, with public paid parking 0.25 miles away by the water, and additional public parking 0.5 miles away by the YMCA's fields. Plan to give yourself extra time to look for parking if you are driving to the runs. The summer season is pretty busy in downtown Bar Harbor.
Who We Are:
Move Free aims to spread our love for movement and the outdoors, while bridging the gap between outdoor recreation and outdoor conservation by supporting our community and educating people on the steps they can take to give back to our planet. Our Move Free Run Club is just one of the many ways we hope to inspire adventure and foster this passion for nature with others. We welcome all people regardless of race, nationality, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity & expression, age, or ability. Everyone deserves the opportunity to Move Free.
Come join us on the trails and roads.

Land Acknowledgment:
You’re giving a piece of yourself to the land by engaging with it, by running on it and giving it your energy, giving it your time, giving it that space and acknowledgement.” Dinée Dorame, citizen of the Navajo Nation
Running on Native lands gives us all the opportunity to connect with and reflect on the history of the land and the communities who have lived here for centuries. The Wabanaki are a confederacy of tribes that include the Abenaki, Maliseet, Mi’kmaq, Passamaquoddy, and Penobscot Nations. The Wabanaki have been here, in their homeland, for thousands of generations. This includes Pesamkuk, this place we now call Mount Desert Island and Frenchman Bay.
We recognize and honor the current Tribes who comprise the Wabanaki Confederacy (the Penobscot, Passamaquoddy, Maliseet, and Micmac peoples) as distinct, sovereign, legal and political entities with their own powers of self governance and self determination, who have stewarded this land throughout the generations. We respect the traditional values of these Tribes and affirm their inherent sovereignty in this territory. We support their efforts for land and water protection and restoration, and for cultural healing and recovery. We pause in remembrance of the Tribes of the Wabanaki Confederacy whose lives and land were taken through genocidal strategies of colonial settlement of this land. We pay respect to elders both past and present, and we commit to the ongoing work of decolonization in Maine and beyond. This land acknowledgement is just the start of the conversation and our work at Move Free. We are continuing to educate ourselves and learn about the ways we can help decolonize the outdoors.
