About the TD Beach to Beacon 5K

The TD Beach to Beacon 5K showcases coastal Maine's rugged beauty. Founded by Olympic champion Joan Benoit Samuelson as a shorter alternative to the iconic 10K, runners start near Crescent Beach before following the shoreline toward Portland Head Light, Maine's oldest lighthouse. August's perfect summer weather provides ideal racing conditions as participants experience both rocky coastlines and charming New England neighborhoods. The moderately challenging course features continuous ocean views. Maine spectators create a warm, community atmosphere for this prestigious event. This picturesque race captures Maine's distinctive character—naturally stunning yet unpretentious—offering a quintessential New England coastal running experience.
