About the SoCal's Tiki Beach 5K & 10K Run/Walk
The course runs out and back along a paved beach path at Bolsa Chica State Beach, flat the whole way with the ocean beside you. Polynesian drummers and dancers are performing before the start, so there is already a crowd and real noise by the time runners line up.
Packet pickup runs the morning before at a running store in Fountain Valley, with race-morning pickup available at the start line. Post-race, there is a spread of coconut pancakes, street tacos, barbecue, shaved ice, and juice at the expo area, most of it available for purchase.

The SoCal's Tiki Beach 5K & 10K Run/Walk has been held every year since at least 2018. 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.
