SEAL BEACH : 700 Are Expected at Annual Charity Run
About 700 runners from across Orange County are expected to take part in the 21st annual 10K-5K run Saturday, with proceeds going to the city Parks and Recreation Department for community youth programs.
City recreation supervisor Kathleen McGlynn said programs ranging from roller hockey leagues to summer day camps will benefit, along with 15 charitable groups organizing the event.
The Seal Beach run, timed to coincide with Orange County Volunteer Connection Day, raised about $8,000 last year.
The event, which includes a 5K walk and a 1K run for children, begins at 8 a.m. The course for the 10K race begins at the Marina Community Center and continues through the Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station and down Main Street, ending at the Seal Beach Pier.
Awards will be presented to the top three participants in each of 13 age groups, with special awards for the first Seal Beach man and woman who finish. The awards ceremony will be at Eisenhower Park.
Also on Saturday, the Seal Beach Business Assn.’s semiannual Sidewalk Sale will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Main Street. And the Lions Club will have a pancake breakfast from 8 to 11:30 a.m. at Main Street and Central Avenue.
