Seaside School Half Marathon & 5K - 3/7/10

Hope to do this!

Thx

It really is a well-run race at a good time of year for the New Year's resolution crowd, even if you're not in it for the tote bag.

Can I please request that it not be 38F and raining next year, though?

I have put in the request. Let's hope it's granted! What was interesting last year was that it was warmer at 4am than it was at 7:30am. But not much warmer! Luckily we haven't had any rain on the day of the race for as long as I can remember.

Three years ago was perfect weather. Nice and sunny for lounging around after the race. Last year's weather was awful, and as soon as racers finished, they boarded the shuttles and got the heck out of Dodge.

Okay, so let's say I gave up running a few years ago due to my body no longer being able to handle the pounding on the joints. I'm interested in participating in the race, but am not at all interested in running more than the 5K. If I started training next week, is that enough time to work up to running a 5K by race date. Not sure that I want to "walk it."

Cool Running's Couch to 5K plan is for 8 weeks and a lot of people seem to have good success with it:

Okay last year was more light drizzle and heavy cold wind than rainstorm, but still I'm hoping for much better this time 😀

One thing I've learned to not worry about is the weather! I did a triathlon last March in Louisiana and froze to death coming out of the water and on the bike - but the year prior it was shorts and like summer!

It is the standing around waiting for the even to begin that will get you. Once you start running it doesn't matter!

SOUNDS LIKE FUN!

Just want to remind everyone that if you are planning to run in the Half Marathon or the 5K, to sign up ASAP. Just got an update on our numbers and they are phenomenal. We are filling up faster than we ever have.

Also saw the Tshirt artwork for this year and it's gorgeous. A little different than years past, but still along the same lines. One of the students at school worked with Billie Gaffrey on it. Wow, we have some talent at our little school.

If you'd like to get updates on the race join us on Facebook at: Seaside School Half Marathon & 5K | Facebook

Final reminder for the 5K registration! We will be closing out the 5K registration sometime this week. If you want in, register NOW!

The Half Marathon registration is also filling up very fast. I think we'll sell out before the end of the month.

Just saw on Facebook that the 5k is sold out! I signed up for the half. :yikes:

The Half Marathon is now completely filled. We hope all our locals that wanted to run signed up on time! Thanks to everyone for supporting our race. It means so much to the committee members, teachers and staff, and the students at Seaside Neighborhood School.

The race is organized and staffed completely by volunteers, (with a few minor exceptions where we need experts, such as the timing company) and all proceeds go directly to the school to support many of its outstanding programs.

A special thanks to all our wonderful sponsors!

Let's all hope for great weather and that the construction around the Seaside Post Office and stage is complete by March!

Can anyone get me in to the seaside half or have a registration they can transfer to me if they can't run it and want their money back? I don't need a bag, don't need a tshirt really but I have to run. I promised a friend I would run it with her, I have been training but I didn't get to sign up due to major family crisis and now it is closed. :bang:

Congrats! that is wonderful news! what an outstanding community event and all proceeds go to educating children of our community - there is no better investment. way to go.

The Seaside School Half Marathon and 5K will take place in 2 weeks, on Sunday, March 7th. More than 3000 runners and their families will be staying in the area and we need about 300 volunteers to make this annual event successful. The race is organized completely by volunteers and is the major fundraiser for the Seaside Neighborhood School.

If you have a few hours on the morning (from about 6:45am to 10am) of March 7th, we'd love your help. We need people to give out water and man intersections along the race course. All volunteers get a free Tshirt. If you're interested, please email Jessica Duggan at jessicaduggan@msn.com.

5k Race

We are coming down this week and didn't realize there was a 5k. If anyone is not running and is registered I would love to beg steal or borrow your number at a greatly exaggerated price! I need 3 entries if I can come up with them! Call me 404-642-8180 or e-mail at chuck@prudames.com. Thanks!

Please don't bandit. The lack of a properly signed participant waiver from the bandits puts the very nice race directors in a legally tricky position in terms of liability.

Good luck to all the runners tomorrow, and a big thanks to all the organizers and volunteers. This is such a great SoWal event, and these people put so much time and effort into making it great.

Good luck to everyone during their "Cool Running." Accuweather said it was 31 degrees at 7 AM. BURRRRR! Who would have predicted that?
