About the Endless Summer in the LBC 5K, 10K, & Half Marathon
The course runs along the Long Beach waterfront, hugging the coast with ocean views throughout. It is flat and fast, the kind of route where you can actually see the water rather than just knowing it is nearby. Beach-themed photo spots are set up along the way, and there is a costume contest at the finish for anyone who shows up in tropical gear.
Hydration stations on course carry water, electrolytes, and ice, which matters on a summer morning by the coast. Frozen treats are waiting at the finish. Race photos are included and downloadable, and awards go to overall and age-group podium finishers as well as the winners of the costume contest.
