FAQS
The best place to drop off on race morning is near the intersection of Ocean Blvd and Linden Ave (448 E Ocean Blvd, Long Beach, CA). Participants can then walk down Linden Ave and cut through the Long Beach Arena parking lot to access Marina Green and the start line on E Shoreline Dr.
We recommend that you arrive 45-60 minutes prior to the start of your race.
Clear gear check bags will be provided on race day. Items must all fit inside the clear bags. Luggage or large bags will not be accepted. Gear Check is located in Marina Green. When in the start chute, the gear check tent is to your left. The gear check tent will be in the same location upon your finish.
Gear check is not available for the Aquarium of the Pacific 5K.
