Event Overview
The Great Bunny Hop is a multi-distance running event held at Alamitos Beach in Long Beach. The event features an out-and-back course along the beach path, which remains open to the public during the races. Participants share the path with other pedestrians and cyclists, staying on the pedestrian-designated right side of the route.
Available distances include:
- 5k (one lap of the 5k route)
- 10k (two laps of the 5k route)
- 10-Mile (two laps of the 5-mile route)
- Half Marathon (two laps of the 5-mile route and one lap of the 5k route)
Course and Support
The course is marked with chalk, runner turn signs, and flags. A fully stocked water station is positioned along the route, and an aid station at the finish line provides water, electrolytes, gels, and fruit snacks. Staff members are CPR-trained and equipped with first aid kits at each station.
Participant Information
Bib pick-up is available on the Friday afternoon before the race at Sports Basement Long Beach, or on Saturday morning at the event site.
