About the Define Your Glow - New Year Reset 5K, 10K, Half Marathon
The course runs along the Long Beach waterfront on an out-and-back beach path. It is flat road the whole way, with the water beside you for most of it. Dogs and strollers are welcome, and there is a virtual option for people who cannot make it in person. Race-day photos are included.
After finishing, a Healing Expo sets up near the start area with wellness vendors, recovery tools, and resources covering physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. The race benefits the founder of the organizing group, a run coach whose home was badly damaged by flooding, so the morning carries a purpose beyond the miles.
