In an brief interview with Patch, Loopesko said tickets for the race sold out two weeks prior to the event. There is no race-day registration, he added, and there is no registration limit for the kids 1k fun run.
The 5k/10k race starting line is at the Seal Beach Community Center, 151 Marina Drive.
According to the event website, in 2012, Run Seal Beach raised and awarded $156,000 to 65 local community organizations. Since the 39-year-old organization became a nonprofit in 1999, Run Seal Beach has contributed over $825,000 to local groups.
Every year about 6,000 athletes participate, and the entire event is staffed and organized by volunteers.
The race also includes a kids 1k fun run. To register for the event, click here.
Some of the sponsors include Clif Bar, Aquafina, Zico and the Seal Beach Chamber of Commerce.
