Stars & Stripes 5k, 10k, 15k, Half Marathon
The Stars & Stripes running event takes place in Long Beach along the Belmont Shores beach path. This event features an open course, meaning the path remains available to other pedestrians, runners, and cyclists. The route is situated at 5400 E. Ocean Blvd, with the check-in area located near 54th Place at the start of the beach path.
Participants can choose from four different distances:
- 5 km
- 10 km
- 15 km
- Half Marathon
The courses consist of out and back loops on the marked beach path. The 5 km distance follows a single out and back route, while the 10 km involves two laps and the 15 km involves three laps of the same circuit. The Half Marathon is composed of three loops of approximately 4.36 miles each. A 3 hour and 15 minute time limit is in place for the Half Marathon distance.
An aid station is positioned at the turnaround point at the start/finish area, providing water, Gatorade, and gels. Registration includes a custom finisher medal, a drawstring goodie bag, and access to free photos and videos from the event. Results are typically posted online within 12 to 24 hours. Parking is available for free in the nearby residential areas or through a paid ticket machine in the beach parking lot. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
