CAPE ELIZABETH — Three top American distance runners — Olympians Deena Kastor, Meb Keflezighi and Ryan Hall — headline a field of talented world-class athletes who will join the best in Maine and across New England in Cape Elizabeth on Saturday for the 16th TD Beach to Beacon 10K Road Race.
The front-of-the-pack athletes will share the picturesque course with thousands of recreational runners who are cheered on by thousands of spectators who line the TD Beach to Beacon route for an event that celebrates health, fitness and giving back.
Last year, 6,117 runners crossed the finish line, setting a new record. A total of 2,408 finished the first race. Online registration now closes in less than five minutes.
This year’s field will include runners from 16 countries and 39 U.S. states plus D.C. More than $60,000 in prize money is at stake, including a $10,000 prize each to the top man and woman, $5,000 for the second place and cash prizes for the top 10 finishers.
