Event
Details
Featuring long stretches of beachfront runs along the Pacific
coastline, the Long Beach Marathon & Half Marathon (the event
also includes a 5K Run/Walk, Wheelchair Marathon and kids' race), takes
runners along a fast, flat course with some of the most scenic seaside
running areas in California. Both the full and half marathons start at
the Downtown
Shoreline Marina and take runners over the Queensbay Bridge to the
tourist ship the Queen Mary, and past sights like the Aquarium of the
Pacific, the Lighthouse at Rainbow Harbor and Pierpoint Landing.
Mostly fast and flat, the half course features a slight incline over
the Queensbay Bridge (between miles 2 and 3), and the rest of the
course is flat. The full and half marathon participants run side by
side until the half "split" between the 10th and 11th miles, when the
half marathoners then turn onto Ocean Boulevard for the return back to
the starting & finish lines at the Shoreline Marina.
