If you are planning on participating in the Long Beach Pride Parade you will have more than enough time to join your group in the line up or find your friends in the stands. If you want to watch the parade, the race start/finish area has been reserved for us as a viewing area. Bring chairs/blankets to sit on the grass and watch the parade.
There is NO event PARKING – but we have bike parking!
Street parking is going to be limited to non-existent. Parking on Ocean Blvd. is prohibited along the pride parade route and setup area (Alamitos to Redondo) and the near by streets will be full as well.
We HIGHLY recommend arriving EARLY to look for parking further away and having ample time to walk down to Bixby park and Ocean Blvd., or using public transportation, ride share services or bikes and scooters.
Pedal Movement is providing free bike valet on site during the run. Take advantage and ride your bike to and from the run and avoid traffic and parking.
Race Course
Start and finish on Ocean Blvd. between Cherry and Junipero Ave.
Runners run down the ramp to Junipero parking lot and turn left towards Belmont pier. Turn back on the beach path and run towards downtown, passing the Junipero lot to the Pride Lifeguard Tower.
10k runners keep running on the beach path and around Alamitos marina, turning around on the Jetty, and returning to the Pride Lifeguard Tower.
Both 5k (Right) and 10k (Left, returning from the Jetty) take Bluff Pl. and 11th Pl. up towards Ocean Blvd. Right on Ocean for a 1/3 mile to the finish line.
Bag Check
We are happy to announce that a full bag check service will be available for registered runners this year. Bag check in and check out will be done based on bib number. All bags must be checked out by 10AM (Race is closed at 9:30AM).
Awards Ceremony
The race award ceremony will begin at 9:00 AM on the bluff at Junipero and Ocean. This will include the awarding of medals for the top 3 Male, Female and Non-binary winners in the 5k and 10k, and top 2 finishers in each age category: 19 & under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70 & over.
