About
The Beach to Beacon 10K is a 10K (6.2 miles) race in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, on July 31, 2027. The course starts near the entrance to Crescent Beach State Park on Route 77 and winds along tree-lined streets with ocean views before reaching Fort Williams Park and the historic Portland Head Light, regarded as the most photographed lighthouse in the world and built on the orders of George Washington.
The race was founded by Joan Benoit Samuelson, the first Olympic champion in the history of the women's marathon, whose influence is felt all along the course. Locals line the road from Crescent Beach to the finish to cheer on runners on this coastal route, known for its constant rolling terrain and unspoiled natural setting.
