Redondo Beach's Super Bowl Sunday 10K/5K Saw 15 Percent Spike in Participants

REDONDO BEACH, CA -- The 39th annual Redondo 10K race saw a 15 percent increase in participants, Spectrum Sports Management announced Monday.

Spectrum Sports, which has managed the Super Bowl Sunday 10K/5K for the Redondo Beach Chamber of Commerce for the past nine years, recently signed a three-year extension to continue to manage the race.

“We are overwhelmed with excitement knowing that this year’s race brought a 15 percent spike in participants,” President of Spectrum Sports Mike Bone said. “It’s our company’s hope and mission that we continue the tradition of increasing the number of participants involved in our running community.

Part of the attendance increase can be attributed to the new additions to this year's race, including finisher medals for all participants, a kid’s race, and a variety of food trucks for Saturday’s Expo and Kick-off Party. Runners also received a custom race shirt, while the top three male & female finishers in each category were presented custom awards.

The Redondo Beach Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Bureau sponsored other activities at the weekend race including live music, a costume contest presented by King Harbor Association and the Michelob Ultra Post-Race Hospitality Area.
