About the She Runs Long Beach - National Women's Day Run 5K • 10K • Half Marathon
The course runs along the Long Beach waterfront, starting and finishing near Alamitos Beach on Shoreline Drive. It is flat and fast, with the ocean on one side and a clear sightline to the Queen Mary for much of the route. Strollers and dogs are welcome, and the finish drops you right at the edge of Shoreline Village.
Check-in opens early on race morning at Alamitos Beach, so there is time to settle in before the half marathon wave goes first and the shorter distances follow later. A health and wellness expo and a finish line festival run after the race, with the gathering spot just steps from where you cross the line.
