Known as the "Soul of SoCal," this October tradition transforms Long Beach into a 26.2-mile celebration of coastal energy. It perfectly balances a world-class professional event with the spirit of a tight-knit community block party.

Whether you’re aiming to qualify for Boston or just looking for a scenic way to spend a Sunday morning, the Long Beach Marathon offers an electric atmosphere that carries you from the historic Downtown waterfront all the way to the finish line festival at Marina Green.
