Reach The Beach - watch for runners...

[Pine Island Guy]

A reminder that the Reach The Beach relay will be passing through Center Harbor, Meredith, Laconia, etc tonight, so be careful of runners along the route...

cheer them on, check out the vans and the team names, usually some humorous ones "we kick ass-phalt", "50 shades of pain", and the "fuster clucks"...

Always well organized and well staffed with volunteers, police, route marking, etc

They had a relay race last weekend down rte 25. I thought that was dangerous on that twisty road. To have any type of road race at night is just looking for an accident to happen. I know its a cool event and different because its done at night and no matter how well the police and volunteers have it covered, still dangerous

I agree. We were driving west on 25 on Friday evening, heading through Tamworth, Sandwich, etc. and there are some stretches of the road where the setting sun is nearly blinding. Having to deal with solar glare and runners on the shoulder at the same time is a recipe for disaster.
