Event Details
The event takes place on April 4, 2026 at Alamitos Beach in Long Beach, California. It offers four distance options:
- 5K
- 10K
- 10-Mile
- Half Marathon
The start location is 780 E Shoreline Ave, Long Beach. The courses are out-and-back routes on a beach path, which is shared with other users. Runners are asked to stay on the right side of the path. The 5K route is used for the 5K event (one lap) and the 10K event (two laps). The 10-Mile event uses a 5-mile route run twice. The Half Marathon combines two laps of the 5-mile route and one lap of the 5K route.
A water station is provided along the course, and the finish line has an aid station with water, electrolytes, gels, and fruit snacks. Race turns are marked with chalk, signs, and flags.
Bib pick-up is available on the Friday before the race at Sports Basement Long Beach. On race day, bib pick-up opens earlier. An optional early start may be arranged for the Half Marathon and 10-Mile events, but early starters are not eligible for awards.
Parking is available in local lots, which typically cost $2 per hour starting at 8:00 AM. Street parking is free but limited. For Half Marathon and 10-Mile participants, a mobile app can be used to pay for parking.
All finishers receive a race medal. Awards are given to the overall first male and female finishers in each distance. Participants can leave personal items at a gear check tent. Race results and free photos are sent via email after the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
