1st Annual Roundhouse Aquarium Fun Run

The Manhattan Beach Pier 1st Annual Roundhouse World Oceans Day Fundraiser.  Registration is now open for a 5K beach fun run that will be held at 9:30 on June 8, World Oceans Day at the Manhattan Beach Pier to benefit the Roundhouse Aquarium. The run/walk is being held to raise money for the Aquarium’s educational programs and will begin at the Manhattan Beach pier and proceed north on the sand to the end of Manhattan Beach and back. Help us continue our ocean education programs by participating in the fundraiser. It will aid the aquarium’s three primary programs: holding classes for over 15,000 pre-k through 12th grade students each year; operating a volunteer program that has grown to over 150 volunteers, mostly local high school students; and allowing over 125,000 members of the public to visit the aquarium free of charge seven days a week in order to interact with marine life through touch tanks, displays, and other entertaining and educational materials. For $35 entrants will receive a T-shirt, water, refreshments, and the chance to win some great prizes. Stop by the Roundhouse after the race to learn more about our oceans. To sign up, go to www.roundhouseaquarium.org or pick up a registration form at the Roundhouse Aquarium, iRunMB, or Village Runner.
