“Get Your Feet Wet” at the 47th Annual Seaside Beach Run!
The Seaside Beach Run is a community event that has been a part of Seaside’s history since 1966. Next year’s Beach Run offers several races and activities to meet the needs of a broad range of runners and walkers; activities include 5K and 10K beach runs, timed and non-timed 5K walks on the historic Promenade in Seaside, and a free “Kid’s Sand Dash” and Treasure Hunt for children under 12 years old—with prizes awarded in several age groups.
Next year’s Seaside Beach Run is scheduled for Saturday, July 20, 2013 and will be professionally timed by RaceTimer. The course will begin and end at 12th Avenue at the North Prom beach access, and the entire event will be held on the beach to avoid traffic safety concerns and to celebrate Seaside’s coastal beauty. At the conclusion of the event, Sunset Family Fitness will be hosting an awards ceremony and free picnic lunch with food, drinks and prizes.
We’re inviting you to support this event that encourages fitness, promotes community spirit, and showcases the best of the northern Oregon coast—and now benefits our local school children. The links on the right include an Event Schedule and Route Map, a Fact Sheet about the history of the Beach Run, and a brief history sheet.
