About the Event

**2 Great Courses * 2 Great Days * 2 Great Towns * Still 1 Great Event**

"Be a part of the Seawitch Racing Festival Weekend "Half Classic on Saturday & 5k Classic/1m walk on Sunday".

RACE DIRECTOR NOTE...Due to the increases in our Country in many of the expenses involved in this event (t-shirts, screen charges, medals, trophy parts, safety personnel etc...) we are forced to have to increase our registration prices. For 35 year I have tried to price my events reasonable or in line with(usually lower) than surrounding events and we still are lower with this event than surrounding half-marathon's on Delmarva. Thank You for your understanding...Race Director Tim Bamforth- Seashore Striders.

T-Shirt Sponsorship is always available to off-set the cost of expenses...Interested email Tim at tim@seashorestrider.com
