On Saturday, March 28, the 52nd annual Run Seal Beach 5K/10K will take place in the Old Town and surrounding areas of Seal Beach.
Run Seal Beach is a long-standing community tradition that brings together runners, walkers, families, volunteers, and supporters for a day of movement, fun, and giving back. The event donates 100% of proceeds to local nonprofit organizations that support fitness and recreation in the Seal Beach community.
Registration remains open for the 5K Run/Walk, 10K Run, and Kids Fun Run. For event details, updated course information, and registration, visit runsealbeach.com.
Course update
Run Seal Beach has announced an update to the 10K course for its Saturday, March 28, event. (See the map on page 2.) Due to current operational needs, the Navy base will not be available for this year’s 10K route.
The updated 10K course will now be run as two laps of a 5K- style loop and is not the same as the current 5K event route.
Registered 10K participants will receive a separate email with options and instructions. Participants can also view the updated course map at runsealbeach.com. On race day, 10K participants can expect clear signage at the lap split, along with volunteers, course marshals, cones, and markings to help keep runners on route.
