About the Long Beach Mother's Day Bloom & Zoom 5K, 10K, Half Marathon
The course runs along the beach path as an out-and-back, flat the whole way, with ocean alongside. Strollers and dogs are welcome on the route. A flower bar at the finish lets people put together a small bouquet before heading out.
Bib pickup happens race morning at the start area on Ocean Boulevard. Street parking is nearby, and a beach lot a short walk away charges by the hour through an app or kiosk. There is music and snacks at the finish, along with a costume contest for the best floral outfits.
