Los Angeles Running Events

5K, 10K & Half Marathon races in Los Angeles (LA) in 2026-27 with RunThrough USA

RunThrough USA's Los Angeles-area races are in Long Beach, on the coast about 25 miles south of downtown LA, at Shoreline Aquatic Park: a flat, fast waterfront course beside the marina with the Queen Mary in view. Long Beach is on the Metro A Line from downtown Los Angeles, about half an hour from LAX and next door to Orange County.

We race there twice a year, in spring and in fall, each time with a 5K, 10K and Half Marathon. Every distance is chip-timed with a unique medal, free race photos and post-race goodies, and the course is a favourite for personal bests.
