Whether it’s reuniting with old friends, competing while donning a new costume or working up an appetite for parties later in the day, the Redondo Beach Super Bowl 10K/5K has become a tradition for hundreds of participants each year.
Redondo Beach residents Scott and Monika Hoffman are among the latest to make the run an annual event when they celebrate their first wedding anniversary in a pair of running shoes.
Last year, the couple spent their first morning as husband and wife running in the 5K race and vowed to return this year.
“We will be running in this year’s race in a honeymoon theme and next year maybe with a baby buggy,” Monika said. “Although we were a bit hung over, last year was a fun achievement for us to make it out the morning after we were married. We have a blast dressing up and want to wear something honeymoon related but haven’t locked it down yet. We were in New Zealand and Fiji for our honeymoon so we’ll probably go for something tropical.”
Registration is still available for the 39th annual Redondo Beach Super Bowl Sunday 10K/5K Run/Walk presented by Kaiser Permanente and hosted by the Redondo Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau.
Festivities begin at 7 a.m. with the annual costume contest presented by the King Harbor Association and a new Kids Dash for youth 12 and under. The 5K starts at 7:30 a..m. followed by the Baby Buggy and 10K races.
