About the One Love Run - 5K, 10K, 10M, and Half Marathon
The course runs along the beach path at Alamitos Beach, right on the water. It is an open path, so you share it with pedestrians and cyclists as you go, which gives it a casual, outdoor feel rather than a closed-road race atmosphere. The route is flat and coastal, with turns marked by chalk and flags. There is an aid station out at the pier and another at the finish.
The evening before the race, bib pickup is held at a local sporting goods store. On race morning, bibs are available near the start before the first wave goes off. Parking in the adjacent lot charges by the hour and accepts a mobile payment app; street parking nearby is free. At the finish, water, sports drink, gels, and fruit snacks are set out.

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 One Love Run - 5K, 10K, 10M, 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 Jul 27, 2026.
