This year, Sunset Family Fitness is proud to be hosting the 43^rd Annual Seaside Beach Run.  The event will include 5K and 10K runs and a 5K Promenade walk--and this year, we’re moving all events back to the beach, including the free "Kids' Sand Dash" & Treasure Hunt for children under 12 years old.  Prizes will be awarded in each age group.

The Beach Run is a unique Seaside community tradition, and this year, all net proceeds will be used to provide fitness center access for Clatsop County students.  This year’s Beach Run is scheduled for Sunday, July 26, 2009; the course will begin and end at 12^th 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.

This year’s motto, “Get Your Feet Wet,” is a fun way to acknowledge both the return to the beach and our new role as organizers of the event.  To celebrate, we will be holding an awards ceremony and free picnic at Sunset Family Fitness immediately following the event.
