About the Donut Runners Rejoice - 5K, 10K, 10-Miler, Half Marathon
The course runs along the beach path at Alamitos Beach, right on the waterfront. It is an open path, so you share the space with cyclists and pedestrians throughout. The route is out-and-back, and depending on your distance you repeat sections of it. Turns are marked with chalk, signs, and flags, so navigation is straightforward.
Packet pickup happens the afternoon before at a local sporting goods store. Race morning, bib pickup opens early at the start area. Parking is available in the lot nearby, with a paid hourly rate, or you can find free street parking. The finish line has water, electrolytes, and snacks.

Finish-Time Stats
Going by the 2025 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The Donut Runners Rejoice - 5K, 10K, 10-Miler, Half Marathon has been held every year since at least 2022. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
