About
It's our 30th year! Join us for a seaside race on a flat, partially shaded course through scenic Avon-by-the-Sea. Clocks and water stops at each mile. All proceeds benefit the Avon Volunteer First Aid Squad.
Catering & aid stations
While you are out having a wonderful race, our team will be setting up tables with water and food (typically bagels and fruit) on Ocean Avenue.
Pacers
The race utilizes pacemakers posted on the course with labeled flags, referenced in the "Renntag für Laufende" start corrals and target times. All participants are assigned a start wave; follow the corresponding pacer's target time and flagged pace. Pacing is supported by Elite Racing Systems timing mats at the start and finish.

Online Registration is Closed
ARE STROLLERS ALLOWED?
Yes, we love kids! Please start near the back of the pack for everyone's safety.
ARE DOGS ALLOWED?
No, sorry. While we love dogs too, for the safety and comfort of all runners, dogs are not permitted.
WHERE CAN I PARK?
Street parking is available and free. Parking will not be allowed on Ocean Avenue; First Avenue between Lincoln and Woodland; or the first block of Washington (near Ocean Avenue).
HOW CAN I REGISTER FOR THE KIDS FUN RUN?
The Kids Fun Run is organized by the Home and School Association, not the First Aid Squad. Kid's Fun Run starts 5:30PM Friday night before the 5K.
WHERE ARE THE POST-RACE REFRESHMENTS?
While you are out having a wonderful race, our team will be setting up tables with water and food (typically bagels and fruit) on Ocean Avenue. Please keep walking up Ocean Avenue toward the pool after crossing the finish line.
WHAT'S THIS ABOUT A POST-RACE RAFFLE?
Right after the race, we will draw bib numbers at random, for prizes including 2 season badges to the beautiful Avon beach. No separate ticket required (we use the bib numbers) but you do have to be present to win.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER PRIZES?
We give prize money to the top three finishers, male and female, and the first Avon residents, male and female, to finish. 1st place $100, 2nd place $50, 3rd place $25, 1st Avon resident $25. We also give a trophy to the first finisher and a medal for 2nd and 3rd place, male and female, in each age group.
