participation. Taking place on the scenic Manzanita Beach, participants race across the sands towards Nehalem Bay Jetty where they turn and head back towards the starting line taking in the beautiful sight that is Neah-Kah-Nie Mountain. As a non-profit organization we utilize a variety of sponsors and volunteers to host this one day event. Highlights of the day include pre-race music to pump runners up, pre-race speech honoring sponsors and volunteers and a mass-start for all participants of our 5k run, 5k walk, and 10k run. After the event we provide snacks and raffle prizes during the awards ceremony. Since its inaugural race in 1990, the Beach Run has grown to nearly 300 - 400 walkers, runners, family and friends. Our participants consist of first time runners, running enthusiasts, non-competitive professionals, and their friends and family. Opportunities for growth, charity, and sponsorship have propelled the Manzanita Beach Walk & Run to be one of the most successful foot races on the Oregon coast. Our organizational structure consists of an Advisory Board, Race Director and four Assistant Race Directors. Each year volunteers of all ages come out to help support the Beach Run and help make the participants experience one that will keep them coming back. The Beach Run is a special event in the Northern Tillamook County area, bringing a big economic impact to Manzanita and its surrounding cities. Sponsoring the Beach Run is a perfect way for your company to become part of the positive impact, while maximizing your advertising potential. North County Recreation District uses the funds raised to provide scholarships for members of the community to use the facilities at a reduced or waived fee. As well as, purchasing and maintaining facility equipment and to help further train district staff to better serve the community.
