Event details

Winter Whirl – 5K, 10K, 10-Miler, Half Marathon takes place on November 30, 2025 at Claremont Beach, 5400 E Ocean Ave, Long Beach, CA 90803. The event offers the following distances:

  • 5K
  • 10K
  • 10-Miler
  • Half Marathon

Early bib pick-up is available Friday at Sports Basement Long Beach, 2100 N Bellflower Blvd. On race day, bib pick-up opens at the start area. Parking in the lot is $2 per hour (lot enforcement begins at 8:00), and street parking is free; half marathon and 10-mile participants may use the Passport app for lot payment. An early start option may be pre-arranged for half marathoners and 10-milers only; early starters are not eligible for awards.

Course and logistics

All courses are out-and-back and remain on the beach path. The 5K route is one lap for the 5K and two laps for the 10K. The 5-mile route is used twice for the 10-Miler. The half marathon uses the 5-mile route twice plus the 5K route once. Courses are not closed to the public, so runners must stay on the pedestrian side of the path.

Courses are marked and supported with two water stations and restrooms. Turns are marked with chalk, signs, and flags. Participants should wear their bib on the front. A staffed gear check is available at the registration tent; bring a personal bag. First place medals are awarded to the overall top male and female in each distance. Race results and free photos are emailed the day after the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
