CAPE ELIZABETH — Online registration for the general public begins at 7 a.m. Thursday for the 2012 TD Beach to Beacon 10K Road Race.

A lottery drawing on March 23 will follow for those who do not secure a spot through online registration.

A day earlier, beginning at 7 a.m. on Wednesday, Cape Elizabeth residents will have 24 hours to fill 600 slots reserved for the host community.

Runners may register at the race website at http://beach2beacon.org .

Last year, online registration for the public was open just eight minutes before all slots were filled.

This year marks the 15th anniversary of the race founded by Olympic gold medalist and Maine native Joan Benoit Samuelson.
