Embrace fall’s full moon with the Run With the Pack – Harvest Moon Run, set for Sunday, September 21, 2025, on 2000 Ocean Ave, Santa Monica/Long Beach, CA. Hosted by High Tide Runs, this evening-themed event includes a 5K, 10K, and a chip-timed half marathon, all running under the glow of the harvest moon along the scenic oceanfront.
Race day begins with check-in at 6:15 AM, before early starts as the moon dims and the sun rises. The 5K starts at 7:20 AM, 10K at 7:30 AM, and the featured half marathon at 7:00 AM. Enjoy a USATF-certified, coastal out-and-back course with generous finish cutoffs by 10:25 AM (3 h 25 min for half).
Finishers earn a unique Harvest Moon medal, free race-day photos, and refuel with post-race refreshments and music. The atmosphere is designed to “run with the pack”—an inclusive, communal vibe celebrating autumn under the moonlight.
