Join us in Long Beach on March 22! Beer City Long Beach starts and finishes in Seashore Aquatic Park and runs along the LA River Trail. Beer City Festival includes a half marathon, 10k, and 5k distances. The Beer Stroll is a 1-mile walk for those who are mostly in it for the beer. Race The Rex is our new take on the beer mile. 

You don't have to have been part of other Beer City races to have a great time. You also don't have to care for beer. This gathering is meant for everyone and it's made by runners, for runners. So come out for a great time with sunshine, running, beer, and celebrating.

When you get home we will be there with tastes of beer from Long Beach's local brewers. Runners drink until noon and the it's off to Shindig! our afternoon gathering. 

The post run beer drinking is a festival all it's own. Beer City Half offers our runners over 21 years of age a selection of beer from a collection of our local brewer friends. There will also be non-alcoholic Hop Water as well as the water, bubbly drinks we provide.

Beer will be served in 7oz Beer City  tasting glasses for you to take home (without a beer in them still).

Also, there will be bubbly water and sodas, as well as snacks for everyone, including Bellwether Farms yogurt and fruit. 

Each Beer City Half runner receives the special Long Beach Key to Beer City, a comfy Beer City Santa Rosa t-shirt, a 7oz Beer City tasting glass, custom bib, and free race photos. 

Podium trophies are given to the top 3 in each race by gender. Age group awards are given 3-deep in 10-year divisions (example: 20-29). Age group winners are requested to identify themselves at the timing table.

All runners are entered into the Beer City Series results and our Slammers receive a special lanyard that holds all the keys. Collect them all -- gotta run first!

Race the Rex and The Beermazing Race have their own treats and rewards as well..
