An adoption event by Long Beach Animal Care Services is located at the finish line and continues during the festival after the race.

Participants may organize teams composed of family, friends, or co-workers.
Dogs of all breeds are welcome but must be leashed and remain on the pedestrian path. Owners are asked to clean up after their dogs. Dogs must be well behaved and non aggressive toward people and other dogs. Participants may run or walk at their own pace, with or without a dog.
