TENANTS HARBOR – The Blueberry Cove half marathon may be a small fundraising event for 4-H camps and learning centers at both Tanglewood and Blueberry Cove, yet the event is gaining recognition on the national circuit.

By the time runners stepped over the starting line, Sunday, Aug. 26, coordinator Steve Cartwright and the team of UMaine Extension staff and volunteers were holding a roster with 192 participants. At least 31 states were represented, as well as Quebec and Montenegro, according to the eighth annual Blueberry Cove 13.1 Facebook page. And, on Aug. 23, two days before registration closed, statistics pointed to a roster of two thirds women and one third men, with the youngest runner as 12, and the oldest as 75. 

For whatever reason, not all registrants step across that starting line. But for those who do, the experience is noteworthy.

“It’s a nice local race, not one of those big, overwhelming races,” Suson Lazor of Bucksport, said. “It’s a race where you can talk to everybody, and it goes to a good cause.”

Chris Gould used to live in Waldoboro, but moved to Virginia. Every year, he and Lazor get together to run a race. Blueberry Cove fit this year’s port of call.

Chet and Andrea, a dating couple from Indiana, have been on a mission since last June to run a half marathon (13.1 miles) in every state. After driving from Indiana, they completed a race in Vermont yesterday, packed their five small dogs back into their RV, drove to Tenants Harbor, and by chance, conversed with another competitor who’d also run the Vermont race and now has 25 states under his belt.

“We would have done 25, as well,” Andrea said during the post-race brunch, “but our RV broke down in Colorado.

Twenty-four states completed, the couple gave the event, which they learned of from the website Running in the U.S.A., high approval.

“We like to do two at a time. And we try to pick out one that’s really cool, and one that’s not too far away,” Chet said. “This one looked really cool, and Vermont wasn’t too far away.”

“This was a very, very good race,” he said.

The couple enjoyed the course support, the many water stops along the route, the scenic beauty, and the “iconic lighthouse.”

In fact, they were two of a number of participants who left the route to snap pictures outside the lighthouse known as the turn-around spot for Forrest Gump during his infamous jog in the movie by the same name.

Two sisters from Westborough, Massachusetts, shared similar sentiments, reiterating the volunteers and their support along the course.

“Everywhere you looked, there were flowers, the ocean, it was really nice,” said Grace.

Caroline said she’s done the race a couple of times, but this year was special because it was her sister’s first time.

“I really like the part where you get to see everyone when you turn around [along the lane to Marshall Point],” Grace said. “She’s a little faster then me, so we passed each other.”

“Yeah, we got to high-five,” Caroline said.
