Beach to Beacon 10K

The TD Beach to Beacon 10K is a 10-kilometer (6.2 mi) road running event that takes place along the coastline of Cape Elizabeth, Maine.

Starting out as mainly a local event, athletes from all over the U.S. and various parts of the world now participate in the annual event, including some world-class distance runners, including Olympic Marathon Silver medalists Catherine Ndereba and Meb Keflezighi, as well as Chicago Marathon winner Robert Kipkoech Cheruiyot.

A then-record 5,668 runners participated in the event in 2010, which saw Lineth Chepkurui improve the women's course record by almost half a minute.

[3] Three-time winner Gilbert Okari is the men's record holder with his time of 27:27.5 from 2003.

The male and female winners receive $1,000 in prize money and are regarded as the Maine road racing champions for the year.
