CAPE ELIZABETH, Maine (February 8, 2023)— Today, race organizers for the TD Beach to Beacon 10K road race, which will celebrate its 25^th running of the iconic race, announced the registration dates for this year’s race that will take place Saturday, August 5, 2023.

Open registration for Cape Elizabeth residents will take place Wednesday, April 19, followed by open registration for the general public on Thursday, April 20.  An open lottery registration for any remaining spots will take place Friday, April 21.  Registration will begin at 7:00 AM ET on each open registration day through the race website, www.beach2beacon.org.

New this year are dedicated registration days for current and past race beneficiaries. Valo, the 2023 charitable beneficiary, will have up to 50 bibs available for those who race to raise funds for the organization. Valo’s bib holders will have the opportunity to register on Wednesday, March 15. Runners who want to run on behalf of previous beneficiaries will have open registration on April 1.

“For the 25th running of the TD Beach to Beacon 10K, we want to celebrate our charitable beneficiaries, which are an important element of our event. By allowing them to register first, we know it will make a difference in their fundraising goals,” said race president David Backer. “From the first year of this race, our charity bib program has helped Maine nonprofits raise hundreds of thousands of dollars over the history of the event.”

“We look forward to an exciting and much anticipated 25th running of the TDB2B10K.  The race has enjoyed the accolades and attendance of runners of all abilities from near and far,” said Olympic gold medalist Joan Benoit Samuelson, founder of the TD Beach to Beacon 10K. “This year promises to be no different given the history, organization and incredible scenery and supportive spectators along the course.”

Following the close of registration, remaining bibs will be distributed to elite runners, sponsors and more than 100 legacy runners who have participated in every running of the TD Beach to Beacon 10K since its inception in 1998.

The Kids Fun Run and the High School Mile will also return in 2023, on Friday, August 4 at Fort Williams. Registration for the Kids Fun Run will be open online from May 1 through August 3. More information on the events can be found at www.beach2beacon.org.
