  Saturday, May 30th

  Lewes, DE

  Last year we celebrated 10 years of serving hundreds of families. In our 11th year we feel the need to begin a new event to honor those who have inspired us continue to fight for pediatric patient rights, access and care to achieve a better quality of life.

  On the morning of May 30th we will gather together at The American Legion post 17's beautiful outdoor pavilion to run or walk the Cape Henlopen State Park Trail in Lewes. We will honor the courage of children who have been forced to fight cancer. Every step keeps their memory alive and supports families in need. Together we'll raise awareness far and wide for childhood cancer research and care.

  Event Schedule

  Night Before/May 29th, 4-6pm: Packet Pick up.

  Day of/May 30th, 7am Registration & Packet Pick up Opens. Grab a coffee, juice or snack compliments of the American Legion Ladies Auxiliary. Silent Auction opens at 7am.

  7:45am: Kiddie K starts. All registered Kiddie K participants receive a medal.

  8:00am: Competitive 5k and competitive walkers start then Non competitive/Leisure walkers.

  We ask all participants to take note of the dedicated signage along the trail and say that child's name as they pass it.

  Afterwards in the American Legion pavilion we will have live music compliments of Catch The Drift, lite foods, beverages and alcohol for those 21 and over compliments of NKS. Awards will be announced by Races2Run. Silent Auction closes after awards are announced.

  Would you like to include a sign along the trail in honor of a young loved one who needs our thoughts? Signs can be purchased for a donation of $25 each. Your sign will be displayed at the Say My Name event yearly. Please use the QR code below to purchase a sign and we will follow up with form for you customize the information for the signage.

  You may participate in this event with us or virtually if you are not local to us. Let's turn every step into support and ensure no child or family walks alone.

  WALKER NOTE...CONTINUED in 25'

  • The Seashore Striders are going to add a separate 5K WALK DIVISION in all eight series events for this summer. If participants show responsibility, fairness and honesty and WALK correctly by USATF Standards then it will continue. If it turns into a "DQ fest" then it will not continue. As the Seashore Strider Race Director, I am not interested in creating more work for myself and we do not have the staff to patrol 3.1 miles of the course, but what I am interested in doing is providing an opportunity for those who simply do not run and would rather walk and still be involved in the event. That is my goal & mission with this decision. We ask that as a walker you are fair, honest to the division.

  • "Race walking differs from running in that it requires the competitor to maintain contact with the ground at all times and requires the leading leg to be straightened as the foot makes contact with the ground. It must remain straightened until the leg passes under the body. Judges evaluate the technique of race walkers and report fouls which may lead to disqualification. All judging is done by the eye of the judge and no outside technology is used in making judging decisions."...USATF

  • To QUALIFY in the Walk Series Division you must complete five of the 8 5k Events listed here:

  • Race For the Ribbon 5k on 5/31/26

  • Bill Degnan 5k on 6/7/26

  • Fathers Day 5k on 6/21/26

  • Jungle Jim's 5k on 6/27/26

  • Beebe Hero's 5k on 6/28/26

  • Firecracker 5k on 7/4/26

  • Dam Mill 5k on 7/26/26

  • Race for the Paws 5k on 8/1/26

  • To QUALIFY in the Walk Series Division you must complete one of the 2 5m Events listed here:

  • Masser 5 Miler on 5/24/26

  • Seashore 5 Miler on 7/12/26

  • This NEW Walk Division will allow a participant to qualify for the Championship Series by completing 5 of the 8 5k Walks and 1 of the two 5 mile runs. The two 5 mile runs will not have a separate WALK division and you can run or walk or do a combination. Because of the longer 5 mile distance, you are encouraged to run or run/walk, rather than walk the whole five mile distance. The key is that you must finish the 5 miler.

  • Awards for the WALK will be the top 5 male & the top 5 female in those five WALK events.

  • For the Championship Series Awards you are either in the WALK division or you are in the Age Group Run Division. You can not be in both and you can not go back & forth. Please pay attention to the Division you register for.

  • WALK QUESTIONS can be directed to [email protected]

  REFUNDS/DEFERRAL

  The Seashore Striders have a "No Refund" policy, however we make every possible attempt to please our client with the following options: 1. Transfer to a future Seashore Strider owned event of equal value before the end of the current year. 2. Donate your entry fee to the charity associated with the event or to the Seashore Strider Youth Running program. 3. Transfer/Defer to the following year at the same event.
