Monterey, CA, April 04, 2020 — Scheduled for May 2, the Artichoke Festival’s 5K Beach Run promised hundreds of wacky enthusiasts the chance to run along the beach dressed as their favorite vegetable.

The current COVID-19 Shelter-in-Place requirements make that event impossible — but don’t put away those artichoke and broccoli costumes just yet. The festival has postponed the fun run, rescheduling it for Saturday, Sept. 12.

Those who registered for the May 2 event will be able to participate on Sept. 12 with no changes to fees. Those who can’t make the new date should contact the festival via email at [email protected]. The festival is still taking registration through www.active.com.

The 5K Beach Run takes place along the sandy, windswept Del Monte Beach, beginning at the Monterey Tides Hotel. It was originally planned as a prelude to the two-day Artichoke Festival, but that event has now been moved to Aug. 8-9 at the Monterey County Fairgrounds & Event Center in Monterey.
