Congratulations! And you beat me to the punch - only just finished the certificate of completion for the El Camino segment. Will post it on the Facebook group page here, https://www.facebook.com/gr..., as it won't automatically be emailed to you by Racery.
@AOMM I saw your message not to post, after I posted 🤣
My bad for being a slowpoke! You can download the segment completion certificates at this Facebook post: https://www.facebook.com/gr...
I just realized the marathon-distance segment that I drew along El Camino starts at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, rather than ending there - but at least you got to do it in real life going the correct way! -

Seeing all the virtual race participants who were at the Bar Harbor July 4 parade - @DanRynk @JudyR @SparkyMoose - makes me feel like I was there!
@MoGo4Acadia Were you in front of Holy Redeemer where I usually see you? I had to leave the FOA group just before we got to Ledgelawn. -

One time we hiked this trail hoping for a sunset away from the crowds, and we ran into a very loud gang of hikers. Looks serene in this photo, though - and love the cloud pattern!
@AOMM Beech Mt. is like that. Not as accessible as most places in ANP, but there are days like the one you had. -

Was Paradise Hill part of the park by the time of the Great Fire? If not, I'd imagine the cottages would have burned. So when will you be at Thuya and La Rochelle @mdijim ? We may be visiting July 13-18.
@AOMM At Thuya every Wednesday between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM. Paradise Hill was burned in 1947. There are indications that the roads and structures at the summit were gone by then and the area was part of the park. I will get back to you on that. -

Thank you for reactivating Dunbar’s pin! They sold it but it is still going strong. It’s great to be back and to see so many familiar participants ❤️❤️. I’m over being miserable because I can’t run and am grateful for walking! Thank you for doing this -

jackrabbit67 July 8Thanks so much! It’s back. This is the only on line group I’m in that cancels my feed on occasion. And this is the one I check daily. Well fingers crossed for a long connection!

jackrabbit67 July 5Can’t belief just 4 days into the new race and I stopped receiving notices on July 4. Technology grrrrr
Leave it to Microsoft! I'll let Racery know, but as it's the weekend, not sure how soon before hotmail issue is fixed. I think you have a workaround that you've been able to use before, to allow you to get in without the daily reminder with link. My favorite workaround, so that I don't need to have access to email to log in: Use a 4-digit passcode, so that if I don't have access to email, all I need to do is type in my email and then the associated 4-digit passcode, and I'm in. I tend to keep my device logged in, so that I don't even need to use the passcode. Will keep you posted on what I hear back from Racery.
@AOMM well pass code is beyond my understanding. I just enter from old posts. It’s just annoying! Thanks
When I have a chance to do a screenshot of how to create a passcode - it's easy, and you only have to do it one time - I'll share it as an image on one of my personal logs and tag you @jackrabbit67

mdijim July 2Need to amend my post. How do I do that?
Good morning @mdijim - thanks for your suggestion of incorporating the Grand Canyon into the virtual race. Hard to believe it's "only" about 25 miles from North Rim to South, but it's a steeper climb back up than scaling Katahdin. To amend the post, in the upper right hand corner, click on the flower- or cog-like feature in the upper right hand corner, and select "delete" from the drop-down. You then need to re-enter the entry the way you would like it. There's no "edit" function - just delete and re-enter. Hope that helps!

Virtually race from the top of Cadillac and over the rest of the 26 peaks of Acadia National Park. Jump across the Atlantic to Spain and virtually race a marathon distance along El Camino, along the original route of ancient pilgrims following the Way of St. James.
Next, to mark the 50th anniversary of Voyageurs National Park, head back to the US, landing in Minnesota for another marathon distance in what the Park Service calls "a park of water, islands, and horizons."
Then go west virtual racers - to Grand Canyon National Park. Start on the North Rim, descend more than 8,000 feet to the Colorado River, then climb more than 6,000 feet to the South Rim. Tour Mather Point, Hopi Point and other scenic spots along this 37.4-mile Arizona segment, ending at Hermit's Rest.
Then come on back to Maine, tour Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument, virtually run the Millinocket Marathon & Half, and climb the 3 peaks of Baxter State Park that make the cut of the AMC's New England Four Thousand Footer list. Finish atop Katahdin, the state's highest peak.
Maine - the way life should be, in real life or virtually!
Earn a Maine Strong medal with your choice of 11 ribbon options. Plus you have the option to add a lobster or moose patch - or both!
And you can order special coasters featuring the 26 peaks of Acadia, the 3 peaks of Baxter on AMC's NE Four Thousand Footer list or the work of Maine artist SKong. Also available: These same images in the form of 4"x4" magnets.
See medal and ribbon options, coasters and magnets at the top of the page here. Or scroll down to see thumbnail photos.
Help raise funds for Acadia National Park, Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument and Millinocket, as well as for the non-profit National Parks Traveler, whose motto is "Essential Coverage for Essential Places."
Details of the 7-segment, 226.9-mile course:
Start atop Cadillac, the first place to see the sun rise in the USA between Oct. 7 and March 6, and virtually climb all 26 peaks of Acadia on Mount Desert Island in the first 59 miles of this virtual race.
Then hop across the Atlantic to Spain for a 26.2-mile segment along El Camino, following the footsteps of the ancient pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela.
Return to the States to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Voyageurs National Park in Minnesota with another 26.2-mile segment. "Raise a canteen to 50 years," as the Park Service proclaims.
Head west for a 37-mile tour of Grand Canyon National Park - too dangerous to hike from North Rim to South Rim in real-life in the summer heat, but safe to run, hike and walk it at any time of the year virtually! - and travel through the rock of ages.
Return to Maine for a visit to Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument, a run of the Millinocket Marathon & Half, and a final marathon-length distance over the 3 peaks of Baxter State Park that are 4000 feet or higher, finishing the 226.9-mile virtual race atop Katahdin's Baxter Peak, the highest in Maine and the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail.
(This virtual race is not officially affiliated with any real-life races other than having previously been the virtual edition of the Maine Sea to Summit Series co-sponsored by acadiaonmymind.com and runmdi.org. And it is not officially affiliated with any National Parks or Monuments, other than helping to support Friends of Acadia, a partner of Acadia National Park; Friends of Katahdin Woods and Waters, a partner of the National Monument; or with any state park, the AMC, or El Camino.)
How to participate:
Wherever you are in the world, you can virtually run, hike or walk and log your miles. Plus there is a dropdown calculator that allows you to convert minutes spent bicycling, swimming, cross-country skiing, doing calisthenics and other activities to a running-walking mileage equivalent.
Watch your avatar move along on a map from Acadia to Katahdin, criss-crossing the map, jumping from segment to segment. Get pop-up Google Street Views where available as you land on spots along the virtual race map. Click on red pindrops near where you land on the map to find out fun facts. Invite family and friends to join no matter where they are - a perfect way to keep up and explore America's parks, virtually.
You have until 11:59 PM EST on December 31, 2025, to complete the segments. You can backdate miles to July 1, 2025, but log them one day at a time chronologically to get the maximum virtual race experience.
New option to put in your hometown upon registration, so that your avatar starts off in your state of residence before you log your first miles in Acadia. Also new: The option to synch with Strava, but remember to also log your comments directly in Racery so that the non-Strava virtual racers can keep up with what you're up to.
To ensure you cross the finish line and to take into account any mileage rounding issues, be sure to log a few extra tenths of a mile. And if you opted in for special finisher's medal, coasters or magnets, they will be mailed upon conclusion of the race.
Everyone is a winner, with medals, coasters and magnets mailed soon after December 31, whether you completed the segments by then or not. Mileage from this race and future races will count toward cumulative totals, allowing you to reach special milestones and recognition. Details of the Acadia to Katahdin Virtual Racing Hall of Fame to be announced at acadiaonmymind.com/virtual-races
At least 5% of gross proceeds from the race go to help support Acadia National Park via the nonprofit Friends of Acadia, Millinocket via the nonprofit Millinocket Memorial Library, Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument via the nonprofit Friends of Katahdin Woods and Waters, and National Parks Traveler.
We've got racers all over the globe! To keep everyone on the same page, we've come up with some handy guidelines:

We've got racers all over the globe! To keep everyone on the same page, we've come up with some handy guidelines:
- We rely on the honor system... you don't have to use a device to prove your miles -- a good map suffices.
- Please only backdate mileage to the start of this race, or July 1, 2025.
- No step counting, please use intentional miles.
- Walking or running miles are the default activity, with other activities like bicycling in the activity dropdown menu! (NOTE: miles on a racer’s personal log are for all races they are in, over all sports)
- Please attribute your mileage to the appropriate day -- don’t combine mileage from multiple days.
- Miles submitted after the race ends will not count toward race leaderboards.
