Event Overview
The Rebel Run offers four race distances: 5K, 10K, 10-Miler, and Half Marathon. The event takes place in Long Beach, California at Alamitos Beach.
Course Information
The course is an out-and-back route on an open beach path. Participants will share the path with other users and are instructed to stay on the right side for pedestrians. The courses are built from a combination of laps on two specific routes: a 5K route and a 5-mile route. The 5K is one lap of the 5K route. The 10K is two laps of the 5K route. The 10-Miler is two laps of the 5-mile route. The Half Marathon consists of running the 5-mile route twice and the 5K route once. Turns are marked with chalk, signs, and flags.

Bib pickup opens at 6:20 AM. The start times for the different distances are staggered.
