Experience the fall magic at the Harvest Moon Trot, set for Saturday, September 20, 2025, at 2000 Ocean Ave, Long Beach, CA. This festive event features three distances—5K, 10K, and a certified half marathon—each taking place along the scenic coastal path.

Participants will run under the glow of the evening’s full moon, with early starts (7:00 AM for half, 7:30 AM for 5K/10K). The course follows USATF-certified out-and-back laps: three loops of approximately 4.37 miles for the half marathon.
