Registration is open for the Susan G. Komen Maryland Ocean City Race for the Cure, which features a competitive and recreational 5K run/walk and 1-mile family fun course, Saturday, April 16 on the Boardwalk beginning at the inlet.
Through Friday, Jan. 22, Komen Maryland is offering a $15 early bird discount on all adult registration types, making an adult untimed registration $20 and an adult timed registration $25.
This year’s call to action is #OneStepCloser.
“Each year there are new discoveries that bring us one step closer to finding the cures for breast cancer,” said Kim Marzullo, senior event manager. “Participant fundraising helps fuel those discoveries.”
Komen Maryland has made some changes to the race this year, including the new Saturday race date.
“With events planned across the weekend, this inspiring event will offer an opportunity to enjoy a weekend getaway to Ocean City as the sunny spring season begins,” said Jessica Evans, Eastern Shore race and development manager. “Working closely with our hotel partners, we’re crafting terrific getaway packages for race participants, their teams, families and friends. Local restaurants and area businesses will also offer race supporters a variety of options for dining, entertainment and shopping experiences.”
This year, the race will again begin at 9 a.m. for runners and walkers, but most of the race village activities will take place after the event.
Survivor parade and photo have been moved to the post-race celebration, followed by a Survivor Dance Party and a “Shoe Salute.”
After the race, there will be a “Beer Garden” and a seating area with food and a variety of goodies for sale.
