What It Is
Downbeach Run For Their Lives is a weekly, low-key community walk that pairs a healthy start to your morning with a simple purpose:
keeping attention on people still being held hostage in Gaza. The vibe is friendly and welcoming—think neighbors catching up, new friends
joining in, and everyone enjoying the ocean air. Participants are encouraged to wear red shirts to help
the group stand out on the boardwalk.
How It Works
- Arrive a few minutes before 9:00 AM at Martindale Ave on the boardwalk.
- Wear your red shirt so the group is easy to spot.
- Say hello, settle in, and choose your pace—walkers and joggers welcome.
- Complete the 1.5-mile loop together. No registration, no fees—just community.
Bring a friend, a coffee, or your pup (leash per local rules). Comfortable shoes recommended.
Why We Walk (In a Few Words)
While the cause is serious, the Downbeach gathering keeps the tone uplifting and neighborly: a weekly ritual to move, connect, and quietly
shine a little light. It’s a great way to start Sunday—breathing in the salt air, meeting good people, and feeling part of something bigger.
