About the Coffee Cruise - 5K, 10K, 10-Miler, Half Marathon
The course runs along the beach path at Alamitos Beach, an open shared path where you will pass cyclists and pedestrians as well as other runners. Several distance options use the same out-and-back stretch in varying combinations of laps. The route is flat and coastal, with a water station at the Belmont Pier and fruit, gels, and sports drink waiting at the finish.
Packet pickup the afternoon before is at a running and gear store on Bellflower Boulevard. Bibs can also be picked up at the start area on race morning. The beach lot charges by the hour, paid through a parking app, while street parking nearby is free. Gear check is available at the registration tent; bring your own bag.

The Coffee Cruise - 5K, 10K, 10-Miler, Half Marathon has been held every year since at least 2025. 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.
