Manhattan Beach 10K Run : 49th Annual
The Manhattan Beach 10K Run is scheduled for October 3, 2026. The event brings together over 4,000 runners on a South Bay course that travels through downtown and residential Manhattan Beach and finishes at the Manhattan Beach Pier. Organizers describe the route as moderate to slightly difficult and provide live music and a post-race expo at the finish line.
The race serves as the Road Runners Club of America California 10K State Championship and will include championship awards in Open, 40+, 50+, and 60+ age groups. Aid stations are supplied with beverages from Gatorade. A sponsor is providing cash prizes of $250 for both the male and female overall winners.
Proceeds are returned to the local community to support health and fitness improvements and scholarships. To date, those donations have surpassed $825,000. Past projects funded by race proceeds include Mira Costa track refurbishing, an exercise facility at Manhattan Beach Middle School, the climbing wall at Manhattan Heights Park, par course installations along the Strand and at Polliwog Park, strand mile markers, a play structure at Polliwog Park, and artificial turf at the AYSO field on Marine.
