Welcome to Beer City Long Beach!
Join us on Saturday, March 22, 2025 at Shoreline Aquatic Park for Beer City Long Beach! Our races run along the waterfront and head out and up the LA River. See the sights, run the trails, and drink the brews that make Long Beach a home base for beer lovers. Beer City Festival is a full day of fun. Drink local and dig it!
Run the River!
The day starts with The Beer City Half at Seashore Aquatic Park for a run around the park and up the LA River Trail. Beer City Festival includes a half marathon, 10k, and 5k distances. See a part of Long Beach you didn't know existed. The Beer Stroll is a 1-mile walk around Seashore Aquatic Park.
The post-race refreshment will introduce you to some of Long Beach's and California's best brewers. What better place to DRINK LOCAL than Long Beach?
All runners receive a shirt, Key to Beer City finisher's medal and custom tasting glass.
Race The Rex
NEW for 2025, we are introducing Race the Rex, our special beer mile where you race others and our T-Rex. Drink 4 12-oz beers while run a mile. If the T-Rex catches you, you're out of the race. Better move quick! Race the Rex is presented by our friends at the Mendocino Running Festival.
Race the Rext takes place at Shoreline Park, starting at 11am.
Shindig
Once the running and T-Rexing is done, join us for SHINDIG, a Beer City party at a brewer we love with music, food trucks, and games. Tickets cover your first beer and are available at checkout when you register.
The Shindig is Beer City HQ for the afternoon with fun games like The Beermazing Race, which challenges you to visit 5 brewers between 1pm and 5pm to drink a pint and find the clues to your next taproom.
