You like swag. We like swag. And let’s face it– anybody who trains all summer to crush a half mary deserves some quality stuff. We hear you, so we’re not skimping.

Here’s what’s in it for you (materially-speaking, anyway):

  • FREE race photos You read that right. No more of those, “I like that pic but do I really want to shell out the money for it?” dilemmas as you browse the gallery a few days after the race. It’s a great race with great scenery; you deserve great pics…at no charge. Capstone Photography typically gives runners 10-15 shots each.
  • Race garment for all registrants (guaranteed if registered by Aug 1; after that, we’ll do our best– promise). Does “race garment” sound vague? It’s only because we give you an upgrade over the perfunctory t-shirt most other races give out; we just haven’t decided yet what it’ll be this year. In the past we’ve done quarter-zip fleeces, lightweight hooded shirts and lightweight running jackets. Stay tuned to see what’s on tap for 2024!
  • Finishers medals for all, um, finishers. One size fits all–phat. Wait, do the kids still say that?
  • Commemorative beer/soda can-shaped pint glass for all finishers. They’re super cool and make that post-race beverage even tastier.
  • Quick-dry sports towel for all finishers. We’ve tested these out and they’re great for the gym, Peloton, etc.
  • Customized oval magnets for all registrants. Toss ’em on the fridge, on your car…let people know you’ve “done the minimum”.
  • Awards for top three overall male and female, as well as the top three in each age group (ten-year bands). There’s some extra swag for the top finishers too, but we always keep that a secret until we hand it out!
  • Bonus! All 3-time (get it, 3 Beach?) finishers of the race, receive their choice of a “3-Time Finisher” Headsweats performance hat, similarly customized bottle opener or reflective ski cap. Applies to all multiples of 3-time finishers, so you 6- and 9- time finishers get to pick again. And even if this isn’t your third year running, notch another finish on your belt and keep working your way toward this elite prize!
