Overview

Experience the fall magic at the Harvest Moon Trot 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.

Highlights include:

  • Moonlit theme: Celebrate autumn and the full moon with themed photo spots, unique finisher medals, and a vibrant night-time atmosphere.
  • Well-supported event: Clearly marked routes, hydration stations, chip timing, volunteer support, and post-race refreshments round out the experience.
  • Inclusivity emphasized: Open to competitive runners and casual participants alike, with a welcoming vibe and accessible race structure.
