Engineers on the Run
July 17, 2009

If you drove by the South Portland, Maine corporate site, on July 15, 2009, you may have been surprised to see a fleet of engineers running! Yes…that was us and one of Maine’s most recognized celebrities- Joan Benoit-Samuelson, the first Olympic Gold Medalist for the Women’s Marathon in 1984.
Joan led us for a memorable fun run to cap off the day! Prior to the run, Joan, who is also the founder of the Beach to Beacon 10k Road Race, thanked us for being the first Green Energy Sponsor of the race this year. Our sponsorship enables the race to expand its Green Program, which will include recycling, composting, using eco-friendly portable toilets, recycling shoes and paperless communications for the race.
On August 1, 2009, at the TD Banknorth Beach To Beacon 10k, you will see engineers on the run again! Over 50 of our employees are participants in the race, as well as many additional volunteers who will be manning our booth and helping facilitate the race.
