Get your sneakers ready! The OSM 5K Fun Run is back! The run will take place on Wednesday, 19 February, starting at 6:30 AM PST from the Marriott Marquis along the Embarcadero. The route will proceed along San Diego Bay and around Embarcadero Marina Park North before returning to the Marriott Marquis. Packet Pickup will be on Tuesday, 18 February 2020, from 7:30 AM – 5:30 PM at Registration, Hall D lobby.

Are you interested in connecting with the community outside the Convention Center? The OSM Storytellers program has arranged for OSM20 participants to read children’s books about the ocean at local San Diego Public Libraries. You can also chat with children and their families about life as an ocean scientist. We buy the books for you, you pick an available hour time slot, and we reimburse you for your travel expenses. Most time slots are middle of the day or late afternoon and within 20 min of the convention center.

Times range from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday of the meeting.
