Race Description
The Long Beach Half Marathon offers a highly scenic, fast, and famously flat course that delivers a classic Southern California coastal vibe. Starting on Shoreline Drive, the route takes runners past local landmarks like the Pike at Shoreline Village, over the Queensway Bridge to circle the Queen Mary, and past the Aquarium of the Pacific. Nearly 90% of the half marathon runs right alongside the Pacific Ocean on a paved coastal path. The exceptionally flat terrain is ideal for setting personal records, and the race concludes with a slight, fast downhill straightaway along the bluff into an energetic finish festival.
