Arriving at Fort Williams in Cape Elizabeth, Maine on Saturday for the 12th 
TD Banknorth Beach to Beacon 10K, my breath was taken away. This didn’t happen from physical exertion but from the majestic beauty of the sunrise over the beautiful rocky coast. I had a feeling that this meant it would be a memorable day.
When the race started, we knew that people from all over the world and over 50 of our own employees were running the picturesque course. Anticipation rose as we awaited the arrival of the first finishers.
At first the runners trickled in but soon the field was flooded with participants of all ages. We congratulated everyone on their successful completion and were excited to spot the green shirts of our co-workers. The Fairchild Semiconductor men ended up finishing #2 in the men’s corporate challenge! Congrats guys!
In our Green Energy Sponsor tent, 
we had fun mingling with interested community members who took home free give-aways like green water bottles. Visitors of all ages rode the bicycle to charge their cell phone.
When I left at the end of the event, I thought how amazing the day was- perfect sunrise, great location, wonderful people!
A big thanks to my fellow employees at Fairchild Semiconductor who ran and helped man
our Green Energy Sponsor booth. Our contributions will go to the 2009 beneficiary, Maine Handicapped Skiing. Thanks to everyone at Fairchild who made our Green Energy Sponsorship a success!
