Long Beach Half Marathon
Race Day Weather
Warm start, strong wind, chance of rain
Starting at 69°F, heat will be a factor from the gun — go out conservative and stay on top of hydration. Strong 23mph gusts could slow exposed stretches — tuck behind other runners when you can. There's a chance of rain, so have a backup gear plan ready. Moderate humidity at 80% is worth noting for effort level, especially in later miles.

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.
