Each year, thanks to our race participants, we have the privilege to award scholarships to seniors from Mira Costa High School. We have given over $520,000 back to Manhattan Beach schools including $212,000 in college scholarships. These 2024 recipients were chosen for having an impressive academic record, strong community service and volunteer work, and a commitment to fitness related activity (including running) and a healthy lifestyle.

Meet Nick
Nick Zobel captained the Mira Costa Cross Country team his junior and senior year. He has run the race several times, quickly taking off for the starting line after belting out the National Anthem with the Mira Costa Choir. He used the scholarship money that he received in 2011 to buy textbooks for his freshman year at U.S.C.
Why He Runs The #MB10K
Even though Nick now lives in Sacramento, working as an analytics specialist for the Sacramento Kings, he makes time to come back for the 10K. He says it’s a fun run that gets you out of bed early and has a beautiful course. It’s the perfect excuse for him to come home, get some exercise and reunite with friends at the Hometown Fair afterwards.

The College and Career Center (CCC) at Mira Costa offers a Scholarship Notebook Program where they help seniors build submissions for scholarships based on their achievements and efforts over the course of their high school career.
