About the LBC Summer Breeze - 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon
The course runs along a beach path starting at Shoreline Park, out and back, with the ocean alongside and open to other path users throughout. The route is the same stretch repeated across the distances, so the course is flat and familiar underfoot. Turns are marked with chalk, signs, and flags, which helps on the back half when legs start to fade.
Bib pickup happens the afternoon before at a local sporting goods store, with race-morning pickup opening early. Parking is available at a couple of nearby lots close to the start. After you finish, there is water, electrolytes, gels, and fruit at the finish line. A gear check is available at the registration tent if you need somewhere to leave a bag.

The LBC Summer Breeze - 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon has been held every year since at least 2023. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
