RACE INFORMATION: This is a Coastal Thrivers Events                            

Coastal Thrivers 3.1-Mile Beach Fun Run & Walk May 2nd, 2020, at the beach front, where Addie Street Parking Lot meets the sand, the Inaugural Coastal Thrivers 5K Fun Run & Walk will start. Saturday, May 2nd, 2019 is the beginning of Coastal Thrivers 3.1-mile run and will be held annually. The event will be held on the scenic coast of Pismo Beach, California. Coastal Thrivers has created a unique event shirt. When Athletes pickup their race packets for their 5K run or walk, they will receive a beautiful reminder to encourage and empower those that have been abused or assaulted to “DIG-IN TO LIFE AND BE A THRIVER.”

Coastal Thrivers Pins:

A beautiful botanical plumeria flower represents the new creation that emerges from within the survivor, where new life is formed, positive charm, and grace characteristics flourish, and is celebrated.

Athletes can sign-up for the 2020 5K run and walk now and through the month of March 2020 and be guaranteed swag and their event shirt. All participants will receive a Coastal Thrivers T-Shirt during packet pick-up. Finishers will receive a finishers medal after the race. If the race is not run the T-Shirt can be picked-up during packet pick-up or after the race. All transactions are final and considered donations if not utilized on the day of the event. Note: If event date must be postponed to a later date, all paid participants will be honored at the new race date.

This location and distance were specifically chosen because each mile on the beach represents the 3 stages of what a person goes through from being a victim, to survivor, and then a thriver. The first mile is the initial experience, the victim experiences physical and emotional pain, overwhelming feeling of fear, brokenness, helplessness, and hopelessness. The second mile represents the survivor’s great courage and strength it takes to except what’s happened and to begin the process of healing, and where hope and laughter begins to emerge. The third mile represents the discovery of forgiveness, gratitude, takes pride in healthy personal care, lives in the present, has faith, lives with an open heart, creates peace, finds joy, and encourages others to, “DIG-IN TO LIFE AND BE A THRIVER.” The running event is meant to challenge and condition runners, but also to inform our community on how to encourage victims and survivors to seek the help needed to become empowered within the community. The course goes from soft sand to the packed sand and back to soft sand again, where the runner must DIG-IN TO LIFE FOR THE FINISH LINE!
