About the Signal Hill Rotary Mutt Run 1K & 5K
The course runs along the Long Beach shoreline, starting at a beach launch ramp that doubles as a dog beach. The path hugs the water the whole way, which makes for a flat, open route with sea air and a view. Dogs on leash are welcome in the dog-friendly distance options, and all breeds can join.
Everything starts and ends at the same spot on race morning, so there is no separate pickup trip the day before. Arrive with enough time to sort your bib before the start. After the race, the Long Beach Animal Care Services brings adoptable dogs to the finish area, and a small post-race gathering follows.

The Signal Hill Rotary Mutt Run 1K & 5K 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 25, 2026.
