Meet our race director, Maria Korcsmaros. Owner of Kissed By A Shark Wellness. Maria has always had a passion for fitness & health. On May 29, 2016, a great white shark bit Maria while swimming at Big Corona beach in Corona del Mar, CA. Rather than be bitter from this experience, Maria turned fear into fascination and turned to advocacy in recovery. She chose to protect sharks & the ocean with the help of the Shark Stewards team.
As an athlete, fitness trainer and mother, Maria would like to inspire others, especially our youth be healthy and to save sharks and the oceans.

The oceans are at risk. Sharks are overfished and plastics pollute, killing marine life and destroying reefs. We must learn to co-exist with marine life, especially sharks. One third of sharks are threatened with extinction. Sharks are critical for maintaining the health of ocean ecosystems. If we want to continue surfing, swimming, sailing and enjoying the bounty of the ocean we need to protect the ocean. We can start with saving sharks.
Shark Stewards is a non profit dedicated to restoring ocean health by saving sharks and protecting marine habitat. Our events support healthy oceans through science, education, and policy. It is our responsibility to keep the ocean clean, healthy, and preserve it for generations to come.
That's why we run for sharks!
