Description
The Pine Tree Road Runner: The Story of Roland Dyer documents Roland Dyer's influence on Maine road racing during his short life of thirty years. Dyer, a Winslow native born on March 20, 1941, is remembered by many as Maine's "pioneer of road racing" for his era. Almost single-handedly, he developed a road racing program for southern and central Maine by organizing scores of annual races throughout the 1960s and early 1970s. An excellent runner himself, Dyer would compete in the same races he directed.
