Tacos N' Beer 5K - Long Beach
The Tacos N' Beer 5K takes place on September 12, 2026 at Shoreline Aquatic Park, 200 Aquarium Way, Long Beach, CA 90802. The event is a 5k (3.1 miles) oceanfront course that returns to the park for a post-race festival.
The course follows the aquatic boardwalk toward Shoreline Village and the Shoreline Marina, offering a predominantly flat, fast-running surface and an out-and-back loop at about the 1.55 mile mark. Entertainment is present along the course, including a mariachi band, a DJ, and live bands.
Event inclusions are two free tacos, one free beer for participants 21 and over, a crafted medal, a T-shirt, optional chip timing, water stations, and a post-race party. Top three male and female finishers receive awards; those awards require wearing the chip timing bib.
Participants are assigned waves, including two named waves Speedy Gonzalez and Slow poke Rodriguez Tranquilito, and categories for runners, joggers, walkers, and stroller users. Packet pick up is scheduled the day before at Sport Basement Long Beach; race day packet pick up is available at the venue for a fee. Race bibs contain three white square labels for T-shirt, beer, and tacos that staff mark when items are received.
Parking is available at the Pike Outlets Parking Structure. Entry fees are non-refundable and non-transferable and entries may be rejected by the organizer RunCarrera. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
