The 14th Eastern States 20 Mile and 10th Run for the Border Half Marathon will take place on Sunday, March 29, 2009.
Registration is now open. We look forward to having you participate in what has become a New England running tradition!
Designed as a pre-Boston Marathon training race, the Eastern States 20 Mile (formerly Border to Border) Race has been called "the single best and freshest idea in road running in ten years." Run in three states, through seven towns, all in one race. Starting on the Memorial Bridge in Kittery, Maine, the race runs through historic Portsmouth, along scenic Route 1A overlooking the Atlantic, to the finish in Salisbury, Massachusetts.
If you are looking for a flat fast 20 mile run then the Eastern States 20 Mile is your best bet. "It is one of those races that everyone should do one time or another," says race director Don Allison. The race also fits nicely into the training schedule for those training for the Boston Marathon. Read the rest of this story!
