Seal Beach Run Draws 5,000 Entries

The only thing tht could have drawn a bigger crowd to the annual Seal Beach 5/10k run would have been if Sandra Bullock had been leading the pack!

Naturally the fastest of the group were in the front when they came by Bogart’s coffee shop (picture below)

 

Nevertheless…the real “rush” of the wind for those standing on the curb (to be as close to the racers as possible) came when the crowd of over 5,000 racers came by.

(No kidding there  was breeze you could feel from the running crowd.)

The Seal Beach run has become one of Southern California’s spring highlights.  It doesn’t draw big crowds of on lookers….like the car show will next weekend (April 24) but you have to consider those runners.  Thousands of them with their spouses, children and  pets – all running side-by-side – – some with smiles a mile wide. 

And then, of course, we can’t forget our service guys and gals.  Making it look so easy. Shouting cadence as they covered the 10k as if it were a cakewalk.  

The guy carrying the flag should get a special award from the Run sponsors.
