Seashore Striders Summer Racing Series wraps up 29th year
The 2019 Seashore Strider Summer Racing Series concluded Aug. 3 at the Run for the Paws 5K in Dewey Beach. Several runners needed that final 5K to qualify for awards while others sought to discard a poor placing result from earlier in the summer.
