Joan Benoit Samuelson, a native of Cape Elizabeth, Maine, won the
first-ever women's Marathon at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles and is
founder and chair of the TD Bank Beach to Beacon 10K. "A long time
dream of mine has been realized" says Samuelson. "I've always wanted
to create a race that brings runners to some of my most favorite
training grounds, so that they can enjoy the same beautiful
environment, sense of community and rich history that has played such
an important role in my life." Locals and visitors alike will enjoy
themselves immensely whether they choose to spectate or participate.
