Don Penta has given us some help telling us who is in the photos posted.
We still need help with the others still not named.
We understand that the 10 Mile race held for a number of years in the month of Aug was started in 1978.

"Good Sports" 10 Miler was the same event. The "Good Sports" was
a running store in Brunswick that sponsored the event for a number of years. When the Good Sports pulled out of the event and eventually went out of business, the event name was changed to "Bowdoin, Run to the Coast and Back" 10 Miler. That was when the MTC took over the management of the event, but it was more complicated than that. The MTC basically did the timing and someone in Brunswick independent of the MTC managed the finances and registration. The event folded when the Brunswick person pulled out and the Club couldn't find a Brunswick local MTC member to take over that part of the event. "
Photos #23 to 27 might be friom a different year.

The Good Sports (also, Bowdoin and Back Run to the Coast) 10 Miler was the most popular 10 mile race in Maine until the new millennium. It had a fairly flat course starting and finishing on the Bowdoin College outdoor track.
