DESCRIPTION

We are going VIRTUAL with the strong possibility of also having a limited live race. Join us in celebrating the 5th anniversary of the Ashley Nicole Furio 5K Run/Walk benefitting Children’s Beach House - VIRTUALLY! Out of an abundance of caution, we will forgo the in-person race for a virtual event. You can race anytime, anywhere between 12:01am Saturday, October 10th through Midnight Sunday, October 11th (48 hours). This event is a Celebration of Life! Dress up for the party, set your own course, run or walk, and share your results and photos!

Participants’ time will be verified by sending an email to Race Director Tim at tim@seashorestrider.com   The email should have an attached selfie of yourself as well as a closeup photo of your distance and time.  

Your input will help us plan a safe and fun event!

Please take our TWO QUESTION SURVEY

and feel free to leave your comments. Thank you!
