About the Sundae Funday - Ice Cream Run 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon
The course runs along the Long Beach waterfront on Ocean Boulevard, so you have coastline views for the whole race. It is a flat route that hugs the shore, and the atmosphere leans toward costumes and fun over competition. Tutus and ice cream-themed outfits are genuinely common at the start line.
Street parking runs along Ocean Boulevard, and there is a pay beach lot nearby. Ice cream is waiting at the finish, and race photos are taken on course, so you do not need to hand your phone to a stranger to get a shot of yourself crossing the line.
