Run Seal Beach T-shirt contest starts

Run Seal Beach® is looking for the next “Georgia O’Keefe” of our community!  The 2016 Kid’s 1K Fun Run Shirt Design contest is in full swing.  Remember the theme for the T-shirt contest this year is “Seaside Sprinters!”

Michelle Samuelson, the chair for the Kids Fun Run, said, “The winning design will be featured on our Kid’s Run shirts and the winner will lead off the run on race day, Saturday, April 9—it is truly a magical moment for them and for all of those kids who see the design on their shirts.”

All entries are due by Feb. 12. Winners will be announced by the end of February.  Who is eligible to enter?
