Thank You, Seaside Half & 5K Finishers!
What. A. Day! The 2025 Seaside Half Marathon and 5K are in the books — and wow, did you all EARN those medals today! It was a hot one out there, but you showed up with grit, smiles, and that unstoppable runner spirit that makes this race so special.
From the first step on Ocean Avenue to the final finisher crossing the line, the energy was amazing. The cheers, the volunteers, the bikers, and the Seaside boardwalk crowd all came together to make it a day to remember.
Huge thank you to everyone who ran, walked, cheered, or volunteered — you’re the heart of this event. And to our course officials, police, EMS, and support crews keeping everyone safe in the heat, we couldn’t do it without you.
Take a minute to celebrate what you accomplished today — you pushed through some tough conditions and still got it done. Be proud, hydrate, and enjoy that post-race glow (and maybe some boardwalk pizza).
See you all next year for another incredible day by the sea!
