About the LBC - Good Vibes Run 5K, 10K, & Half Marathon
The course runs along the Long Beach coastline on a beach path, flat the whole way and open to the ocean. Palm trees line the route, and the water stays in view for most of the run. Chip timing and free race-day photos are part of the setup, so you leave with a result and something to look at later.
The finish area has a DJ and a festival setup, which makes the end of the run feel more like an arrival than a stop. Photo backdrops are set up near the finish for anyone who wants them.
