Redondo Beach: We’ll be testing out a brand new shoe from Newton called the Energy! The EnergyNR will expand the Newton experience to a broader group of runners. The
EnergyNR will offer similar features and ride to all of the Newton products but in a more conventional design package. Runners new to the brand as well as loyal Newtonites will
truly enjoy the lightweight and responsive ride that the EnergyNR offers. Please be sure to arrive between 5:30 and 6PM to get fitted for a pair of shoes and to fill out a raffle ticket for the chance to win some fun prizes! The running group leaves promptly at 6:15PM from our store.
Race Info
The Dick Fitzgerald 2-Mile Beach Run will be held on Saturday August 6, 2016 at 8:00 a.m. The race starts and finishes at the Hermosa Beach Pier. Runners will run north behind the lifeguard towers past the Longfellow tower around the turn-around marker and then proceed back to the pier along the hard packed sand by the water.
This fun race is very challenging because of the soft sand on the first half of the race and the hard pack run on the return trip. The gentle sea breeze is a welcome relief to the runners . This is a great way to get some excercise and participate in one of the first events of the Surf Festsival.
The divisions are(Men and Women, Boys & Girls):10 & Under, 11-14, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69 and 70 & over. ISF t-shirts are guaranteed to all pre-registered runners. A limited number of shirts will be available for race day registration – first come, first served. Medals to the 1st-3rd place in each division.
The race is conducted by the Mira Costa Track and Cross Country teams. Proceeds from the run go back to the team. The race is named after former Director of the Department of Beaches Dick Fitzerald who helped start the International Surf Festival.
