About our courses:
Our courses are not closed, which means that there are often other runners, walkers, and others enjoying the day along with you. Safety is must and all runners must stay on the pedestrian side of the beach path. The course never goes off the beach path. Courses are well marked with two water stations and restrooms along the way. This is an out and back course meaning you will begin and finish in the same location.
The 5k turn around is located at mile 1.55 marked with a runner turn sign, large orange flag, chalk, and small blue and orange flags.
5k will run 1 out and back loop

How are our races timed?
All events are gun timed. Meaning we will start the clock when the horn sounds and record your time as you cross the finish line. For this reason, your bib needs to be worn on the front of your body at all times.
What you get:
All participants will receive a finishers medal, finish line goodies, and free downloadable race photos. Race results will be posted on our website within 10 hours of the completion of the race.
Refund and Deferral Policy:
Sorry but there are NO REFUNDS but we do offer deferrals until 48 hours before the event and you can transfer your entry to another person for free up to 48 hours before the event. There is a $15 cash transfer fee on the day of the event and matching ID is required to pick up your bib.

Start Time: 6:30 am
Start Location: 5400 E. Ocean Blvd. Long Beach, CA US 90803
Look for the easy up tents location at the beginning of the beach path at Ocean and 54th street.
Not all GPS directions are created equal and we have been told that Apple Maps doesn't always get you to the right spot so stick with Waze.
Parking:There are a lot of free parking spots a short walk away across the street. Street parking along Ocean ave is free. The parking lot next to our start line is managed by the city and you should pay at one of their parking machines before the race so as not to risk getting a ticket. The machine will NOT take payment before 8 am.
If you would like to pay before 8 am you will need to download the PASSPORT app to do so
