Not your ordinary finisher t-shirt… this poly and rayon tee is made from a soft, lightweight jersey that delivers lasting comfort and an easy style perfect for a run. The shirt is also a great casual wear piece, just what you want to kick around in after a race. The sizing of this shirt is modeled after the Nike Performance line. Our team is happy to answer questions about materials or sizing of the shirts. Simply email race@runseasidefl.com with questions.

Vera Bradley’s ReActive Sling Backpack provides the cargo space of a small backpack and the effortlessness of a hands-free crossbody style. This modern take is your new go-to for city treks, long bike rides and strolls through campus. Now in sustainably-sourced ReActive material made from recycled plastic water bottles (10 bottles go into every pack!), it's a smart choice for you and the environment. Lightweight and water-repellent too, it can be worn across your back or your chest for easier accessibility. It's got a whole lot going for it ... just like you! 
 
Made from 100% cotton, the non-medical Pleated Face Masks are soft, breathable and comfortable to wear. Pleat construction allows the fit of the mask to be easily adjusted, and the elastic goes behind the head to alleviate pressure on ears. With two layers of fabric, they feature a pocket for a disposable filter (not included), and of course, the mask is machine washable.

Every year, the gap between the Seaside School standard of excellence and the funding provided by the state seems to grow more and more. There are either funding cuts or we simply want more for the students. In any case, the shortfall is significant each year. Whether you’re a runner or sponsor, please know that your support is needed and appreciated. Your participation reduces class size. Your participation provides middle school and high school students the opportunity to participate in elective classes for gardening, music, art, an award-winning robotics program, advanced placement classes as well as career-readiness industry certification courses. Great things are happening at the Seaside School… thanks to you! The funds raised from the 2021 Seaside School Virtual Half Marathon + 5K will support the Seaside School Foundation’s Educate, Gather & Grow initiative.
