All registered runners will receive a high quality t-shirt. Shirt sizes are not guaranteed. Sorry, but Kids 1K shirts are for children registered for the Kids 1K Fun Run Event Only.

COVID-19 CANCELLATION POLICY

Run Seal Beach will comply with city and county health guidelines and requirements. If it is necessary to cancel the race due to COVID-19 or other unforeseen circumstances, participants will have the following options:

• Complete the race virtually
• Defer registration to the following year
• Donate registration to Run Seal Beach to be used for our community grant program

TIMING | AWARDS

Timing results for the 5K & 10K divisions are based on chip times. Chip times start when you actually cross the start mat and end when you cross the finish mat. Winner awards are based on Gun Time in accordance with USTAF standards. You must be wearing your BIB to receive a time. Please note that you should wear your bib in an area on your front that is least impacted by sweat and moisture. The timing chips are highly sensitive to both.

Runners and walkers will be timed based on the event that they are registered for. If you decide to switch courses in the middle of the run, you will be timed on the event for which you registered. You can change your event designation at the registration center prior to the race start only. Post race changes and adjustments can not be made.

Awards are given to the top three (3) finishers in each of eighteen divisions with special awards for overall event champions of the 5K and 10K Runs. Overall top Male and Female awards are also given. The first / top Seal Beach Male and Female to finish each of the 5K and 10K Runs will each receive a special award. Ribbons are given to all children participating in the Kids’ 1K Fun Run.

Winners must be present to claim their award. Awards will not be mailed. Awards can be claimed for 2 weeks (until 4/21/25) at the City of Seal Beach Recreation Dept – 211 8th Street, Seal Beach- M-F 8-12, 1-5.
