Statement from Dave Weatherbie, President of the TD Beach to Beacon 10K Road Race re: Tragedy at B.A.A. Boston Marathon

Race President Dave Weatherbie:

"On behalf of the TD Beach to Beacon 10k race committee, I want to express our deepest sympathies to the victims, their families and friends, and all of those who were affected by the tragic events at the Boston Marathon yesterday. This is a sad and difficult time for the running community. The TD Beach to Beacon 10K has a close relationship with the Boston Marathon. We share the same race director, Dave McGillivray and his team at DMSE Sports, and a large contingent of runners and volunteers take part in both events. Our race founder, Joan Benoit Samuelson, first made her mark in the running world at Boston, and we also share a host of race dignitaries and race officials. The pain of what occurred in Boston is both fresh and deep. For that reason, and out of respect for what took place there, it is too soon to discuss with any specificity the impact of that tragedy on the TD Beach to Beacon 10K. That said, we want to assure all of our race participants, volunteers, and staff that we will implement and execute security measures to provide a safe and positive experience for everyone on August 3."
