Happy Tails 5K and 1 Miler Dog Run
The event is a pair of running distances held at Granada Beach, 5000 E Ocean Blvd, Long Beach, CA 90803. Two course options are offered:
- 5K (3.1 miles)
- 1 Miler (1 mile)
The route follows a flat, paved beach path along the Long Beach shoreline with ocean views and wide running space. Leashed dogs are welcome. The 5K is timed using professional chip timing with instant results via ChronoTrack. Race-day services include free photos, on-course water stations for both humans and dogs, and a finish area with music and vendors.
All finishers receive medals for both dogs and their humans. Overall and age group awards are provided. The event is organized by CaliFlow Runs and raises funds for Long Beach Animal Care Services to support local animal care programs.
The atmosphere is described as dog friendly and stroller friendly, with a focus on running and community presence rather than competition only. The shorter distance is intended for quick participation with a dog, while the 5K offers a measured course for timed performance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
