About the Run for the Planet - 5K, 10K, 10M, and Half Marathon
The course runs along the beach path, which stays open to the public during the race, so expect to share the pavement with cyclists and pedestrians. Runners keep to the right. The route is an out-and-back along the waterfront, with shorter distances doing a single loop and longer ones combining that loop with a longer stretch. The terrain is flat coastal path the whole way.
Bib pickup opens at Tongva Park before the race, and you can also leave gear with staff at the registration tent. Street parking on Ocean Ave is limited, but several public lots are within walking distance and the E Line has a nearby station. The finish area has water, electrolytes, gels, and fruit snacks.

The Run for the Planet - 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 Oct 23, 2026.
