ROAD RACING
Registration for the 22nd running of the TD Beach to Beacon 10K Road Race opens Wednesday morning for Cape Elizabeth residents and Thursday morning for the general public.
Bibs for 600 town residents will become available starting at 7 a.m. Wednesday at beach2beacon.org under a queue entry system that holds a virtual place in line while the user fills out a registration form. At the same time Thursday morning, 4,000 bibs are up for grabs among the general public. The entry fee is $55.
In an important change from past years, runners can’t register for the race without first creating a Race Roster account. Organizers strongly encourage runners to do so beforehand.
A lottery for the remaining 1,950 bibs will run from Thursday to March 24, with winners announced March 26. The race is set for Aug. 3 in Cape Elizabeth.
