PACIFIC SHORELINE MARATHON UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP
Huntington Beach, CA Jan. 6, 2004
After 25 years and over 1,000 events, Herb Massinger, owner of Race Pace
Promotions and the Pacific Shoreline Marathon officially handed over race
director responsibilities to long time event director Louise Weiner and
ownership to Pacific Shoreline Marathon, LLC.
Ms. Weiner has been managing and directing the Pacific Shoreline Marathon
for the previous eight years. She will carry on the legacy and running
tradition in Orange County as Executive Director under the ownership of
Pacific Shoreline Marathon, LLC. Ms. Wiener said, "After spending the last
three months discussing the future plans for the Pacific Shoreline
Marathon, I am more excited that ever to be part of this great event."
The team at Pacific Shoreline Marathon, LLC brings the additional resources
necessary to make what has been a great success even better. "New support
for traffic control, event operations, sponsorship programs and, most
important, improving the runner experience are all part of our plans." said
Amy Tomchak, Managing Partner for Pacific Shoreline Marathon, LLC.
"We are confident that the Pacific Shoreline Marathon will be bigger and
better under its new promoter. The team at Pacific Shoreline Marathon, LLC
has been very professional, enthusiastic, hard working and detail
oriented...... a combination that will make for a great marathon this
upcoming Super Bowl Sunday. We anticipate the event will continue to grow
in the future beyond its current 6,600 participants and become the premier
event for runners and spectators in Orange County. What better place to
run a marathon than along the beautiful shores of the Pacific Ocean in Surf
City, USA." said Jim Engle, Community Services Director - City of
Huntington Beach.
Registration for the 9th annual Pacific Shoreline Marathon, which takes
place on Super Bowl Sunday February 6th, 2005, in Huntington Beach, CA. is
