The beautiful idea of 1984 USA Olympic Gold Medalist Joan Benoit Samuelson (First ever Women’s Marathon), the 10K annual road race from Crescent Beach to Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth features some of the most elite runners in the world mingled with many local running enthusiasts.
Since the first race in August 1998, the number of participants and spectators have grown (5,000+) to make this an annual summer tradition along Route 77 with the wonderful back drop of Fort Williams Park and Portland Headlight at the finish. We have also been witness to Joan Benoit Samuelson competing in the race certain years running alongside her running partners and friends. On March 15, 2009, the registration of 6,000 entrants was filled through an online registration in under 7 hours. An amazing feat!!! See you August 1st at the finish line. http://www.beach2beacon.org
