The Seaside Beach Run is a community event that has been a part of Seaside’s history since 1966. This year’s Beach Run offers several races and activities to meet the needs of a broad range of runners and walkers; activities include 5K and 10K beach runs, 5K walks on the Promenade in Seaside, and a free “Kid’s Sand Dash” and Treasure Hunt for children under 12 with prizes awarded in several age groups.

This year’s Seaside Beach Run is scheduled for Saturday, July 21. The course will begin and end at 12th 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. At the conclusion of the event, join us for an awards ceremony and free picnic lunch with food, drinks and prizes.

Support this charity event that encourages fitness, promotes community spirit, and showcases the best of the northern Oregon coast and now benefits local students. This annual event is produced by Fit To Be Teens, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization. Net proceeds provide fitness opportunities for Clatsop County middle and high school students.
