Night of the Living Runners Half Marathon : Long Beach
The event takes place at Alamitos Beach in Long Beach, California, on October 17, 2026. It offers multiple race distances along beach path and out-and-back routes that use established 5k and 5 mile loops.
Distances
- 5K
- 10K
- 10 Miles
- Half Marathon (13.1 Miles)
The beach path is an open course shared with others. Runners are asked to keep to the right side of the path while cyclists use the left. The 5k route is used for the 5k and two laps for the 10k. The 10 mile route uses a 5 mile loop twice. The half marathon combines two laps of the 5 mile loop and one 5k loop.
On-course support includes a fully stocked water station and an aid station at the finish with water, electrolytes, and snacks. Each station has a first aid kit and crew members trained in CPR. Course turns are marked with chalk, signs, and flags.
Logistics noted by the organizer include a registration tent offering gear check and an early bib pick-up option the day before at a local sporting goods store. A tent near the finish line will be available for spectators but there is no shade or seating in the festival area. All finishers earn a race menda and overall first place medals are given to the top male and female in each distance. Results and race photos are made available after the event.
