Countdown to the Finish Half Marathon

The Countdown to the Finish Half Marathon takes place in Long Beach, California, along with 5K, 10K, and 10-mile races. The event features out-and-back courses on scenic beach paths, with the half marathon combining two laps of a 5-mile route and one lap of a 5K route. Runners share the open beach path with pedestrians and cyclists, staying on the right side.

Support includes water stations at Belmont Pier and the finish line, which also offers Gatorade, gels, and fruit snacks. The race atmosphere is low-pressure and high-vibes, with awards for overall winners and free race photos provided. Spectators can watch from a tent near the finish line.
