About this race
Join us for the The 8th Annual Beach Run aka the “Sandy Sauté”! A Legendary Hermosa Beach favorite. Whether you meet us at the Pier, or run virtually wherever you live, you’ll feel the vibe and the spirit of our community.
The 2 mile Beach Run is on the beach just north of the Hermosa Beach Pier. The course heads north in the sand for 1 mile out, then loops back to the finish line.
All Runners and Walkers will start at 2:00pm. Join us after the run for happy hour at one of the restaurants on the pier!
We love a good costume race, so this is your chance to ditch your regular race gear and dress up! Pants Off Racing’s philosophy has always leaned on the notion that no one races in pants (until yoga pants were invented). The top 3 male and female finishers will receive a prize package curated by several of our favorite retailers (lululemon, Vuori, Rainbow Sandals, Good, etc.). If you are feeling festive wear something that shows your spirit. We encourage fun running outfits and also have prizes for those that show their spirit!
As always, all proceeds go to support the families impacted by Pancreatic Cancer. Quick note, if you want to receive a race shirt make sure you add this item when you register for the race. We promise our shirts will be in your weekly rotation because they are the best quality. Also, there will be limited sizes and quantity for purchase on Race day.
We are hoping for a perfect day, and maybe even getting into the water after the beach run!
Please email us at [email protected] if you have any questions.
