This High Tide Runs event turns a Saturday morning on the Long Beach shoreline into a low-pressure, high-vibes race day with four distances: 5K, 10K, 10-miler and half marathon. The half marathon and 10-miler head off first at 7:00 a.m., with the 5K and 10K starting at 7:30 a.m., all using simple out-and-back loops on the Alamitos Beach paved path—one 5K lap for the 5K, two for the 10K, and combinations of the 5-mile and 5K loops for the longer races. Terrain is flat, fast and right by the water, but the path stays “open,” so runners share it with regular beachgoers while following clear course markings and volunteer guidance. Every finisher receives a medal, snacks and free race photos, and there’s a 3:20 time limit for the longest distances, making the day welcoming for newcomers as well as PR-hunters looking for a straightforward beachfront run.

The 10K goes off at 7:30 a.m., sending runners from Alamitos Beach onto the paved shoreline path for a 6.2-mile out-and-back, an easy-to-navigate, nearly pancake-flat race organised by High Tide Runs with beach views the whole way.
