Stars and Stripes 5k, 10k, 15k, Half Marathon

Get ready to show your patriotic spirit at the Stars and Stripes Fun Run/Walk, featuring distances for every level: 5k, 10k, 15k, and Half Marathon! With check-in at 7:00 AM sharp and a start time of 7:30 AM, this event welcomes all – from seasoned marathoners to casual walkers. Do remember to arrive early, carpooling is your best bet, and bring some toilet paper, as we like to keep things real - those beach restrooms can be a hit or miss. Race along the scenic Long Beach path, 5400 E. Ocean Blvd., but don't trust Apple Maps – Google Maps or Waze are your guides here. Enjoy a well-organized route, hydration stations, and restrooms along the course, and everyone crosses the finish line to a shiny medal, goodie bag, and free snaps to boast on Facebook. This is your race at your pace, but always with heaps of fun! Just a heads up, strollers are welcome, but leave your furry friend at home. Ready, set, run for fun and freedom!
