Run for the Rose Event Details
Run for the Rose is a scheduled athletic event taking place at Alamitos Beach in Long Beach, California. This event is held on Mother's Day and offers multiple distances for participants who wish to run, jog, or walk. The available distances include:
- 5K
- 10K
- 10 Miles
- Half Marathon (13.1 Miles)
The course consists of an out and back route along the beach path. The 5K participants complete one lap of the designated small loop, while 10K participants complete two laps. The 10 Miles course requires two laps of a 5-mile loop. For the Half Marathon, participants complete the 5-mile loop twice and the 5K loop once. The course is shared with the public, requiring participants to stay on the right side of the path designated for pedestrians.
On-course support includes a fully stocked water station and a finish line aid station providing water, electrolytes, gels, and fruit snacks. Staff members at these stations are trained in CPR, and first aid kits are available. The route is marked with chalk, runner turn signs, and flags.
Participants can access gear check services at the registration tent. All finishers receive a medal, and top awards are provided for the first-place male and female finishers in each distance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
