Run Seal Beach Announces 2018 Registration is Now Open
Run Seal Beach opens registration for their annual 5K, 10K and kid's 1K in Old Town Seal Beach. The race takes place on March 24, 2018.
Seal Beach, CA, September 21, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Run Seal Beach is thrilled to announce registration for their 44th annual 5K, 10K and Kid’s 1K Fun Run is open. This coming year’s race along the scenic oceanfront course in Old Town Seal Beach takes place on March 24, 2018.
Although registration for the event has just opened, over 100 runners have already signed up and registrations will continue to pour in between now and February 23rd, which is the final day of the early bird special, offering $10 off the regular registration fee. Registration includes a commemorative 2018 Run Seal Beach T-shirt, finish medals, refreshments, bottled water and giveaways and massages at the Finish Festival. Those wishing to take advantage of this special pricing plus an additional $2 off registration can register here using promo code: rsb2018.
Many kids (3 – 10 years old) have already signed up for the Kid’s 1K Fun Run and Fun Zone as well. The Kid’s Fun Zone is a great place for children to be entertained while their parents complete the 5k/10k race. At the end of the 1K, children are escorted into the fenced area full of games, crafts and fun volunteers. Kids receive special Fun Run t-shirts and a wrist band/bib system to help keep them safe. The Kids 1K Fun Run is capped at 400 runners in order to ensure a quality experience in the Kids Fun Zone throughout the duration of the race. If you want to have your child in the run, be sure to register now and save.
Team registrations have already begun to come in as well. The deadline to add a new team is February 14th, 2018. This year, Run Seal Beach will provide space for the two teams with the largest number of runners for a team EZ-up. The competition is heating up, so go to www.runsealbeach.com/teams to add or join your team today.
Also getting an early start this year are the sponsors whose generous donations help make the event a huge success. Last year’s sponsors included the Bernadett Family at the Platinum level, Fresh Cut Creative, Scan and Clean Energy at the Gold level and AES and Farmers & Merchants Bank at the Silver level as well as many generous Bronze level sponsors.
Run Seal Beach takes a year of planning from the all-volunteer board of directors, an operational race day team and more than 500 volunteers on race day. Greg Phillips, race director said, “Our mission is to Promote health and fitness in a family friendly event, while supporting non-profit groups providing recreation, fitness and leisure in our local community.”
Run Seal Beach is one of the largest grant giving organizations in our region. Funds go to a variety of non-profits, particularly in the sports and recreation sector. The entire Los Alamitos Unified School District (LAUSD) is the major beneficiary with over 48% of the total funds raised over the last fifteen years. Other major recipients include the City of Seal Beach recreation department, police, lifeguards and other Seal Beach and Los Alamitos based non-profits. In general, grant recepients range in awards from $500 to just over $7,500.
Uses are usually for direct equipment costs or improvements to programs for the recipeints. For many groups, like the Los Alamitos booster clubs, the Run provides vital funding to support many of the player’s direct costs.
