Long Beach Half Marathon
Race Day Weather
Warm start, high humidity
Starting at 66°F, heat will be a factor from the gun — go out conservative and stay on top of hydration. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing. High humidity (81%) will make it harder to cool down through sweat — increase fluid intake accordingly.

Race Info
The Long Beach Half Marathon runs 13.1 miles along the Pacific Ocean for nearly 90 percent of its length. It starts on Shoreline Drive by Shoreline Village, crosses the Queensway Bridge to the bow of the Queen Mary, then loops the Aquarium of the Pacific and the Rainbow Harbor lighthouse. The course returns through Shoreline Village and follows the beach path and the bluff above the ocean to a downhill finish on Shoreline Drive at Linden Avenue. The highest point is only 45 feet above sea level.
