About the 2027 Heroes 4 Hearing 5K
The course runs along the marina and waterfront in Long Beach, out near the aquarium. It is flat and open, with water views for most of the route. The race raises money for hearing-loss recipients, and the finish-line atmosphere reflects that, with the cause front and center rather than just the clock.
Bib pickup opens early on race morning, with gear check available through race staff. There are water and electrolyte drinks on the course, and finish-line treats afterward. Race photos are taken on the course and available to download for free after the event.
