Just wanted to let folks know that the County Open Half-Marathon will be run again in Aroostook County this year after a year's hiatus. The date is 8/08/09 held this year on a NEW course, in Island Falls, just off the interstate. More information can be found on the web-site, click on the link for the 1/2 marathon. At this point it doesn't appear that there is any on-line registration and the registration form should be posted on the web-site soon. Would love to see Crows versus Musterds "mixing it up" here in "The County" (wouldn't be a messy as the Mud Mile) Hope to see you up here in the North Country!! "Maine-iac"
