Harry Nelson: I ran the Casco Bay Marathon from 1983 until the last one in 1987. There was no half marathon associated with the Casco Bay Marathon. As you may know the Maine Marathon’s course was somewhat similar to Casco Bay.
Brian Flanders stated Jan 9, 2022:
“I remember this race was an out and back on Baxter Boulevard. It was televised in it’s entirety (I watched the race from home) and the Bickford brothers ran side by side ahead of the pack the whole race. I always thought Bruce must have given the nod to younger brother Stan at the finish given the fact that Bruce was world class and could have run much faster. I do seem to remember Bruce saying after though that he was just trying to keep up with Stan who ran a great race.”
The News*Run reported “(Maine) Running and the Maine Track Club have a
new champion in the form of Sara Hobson, a feature writer for the Maine Sunday Telegram.
Sara is a MTC member and has been writing half page articles on running each week.
addition she has a race schedule of Maine races in each issue. The picture of Paul
Merrill in this issue is from her article on September 27. Also Bill Green, sports announcer for WCSH Channel 6 and a MTC member has prominently mentioned the Club recently in promoting the For Kids Sake (Four Miler) race held on October 4. This race was well covered by Bill with start to finish live coverage. Despite a faulty satellite uplink, the show was much better than Boston Marathon live coverage this past Spring. Many thanks Bill and Sara”
For Kids’ Sake- Rick Strout said the 4 miler-
scheduled Sunday Oct 4. It would
televised from start to finish along the Back Cove
path. The Back Cove area will be closed off
