Some races are about finish times.
This one is about showing up — for yourself and for someone else.
Join us for the Define Your Glow Run + Healing Expo, a powerful morning on the Long Beach waterfront celebrating movement, resilience, and community.
Whether you run, jog, walk, or participate virtually from anywhere in the world, this event is about the simple truth that movement helps us heal, reset, and reconnect with our strength.
The course is a flat, scenic out-and-back along the beach path — perfect for beginners, walkers, experienced runners, families, and dogs.
Come for the miles.
Leave feeling stronger than when you arrived.
🌊 Why We Run
This event supports Define Your Glow, helping restore the home of founder Shannel, a certified run coach, 4 time IRONMAN finishers, and wellness coach whose home suffered severe damage after 27,000 gallons of water flooded the property.
Shanell has spent years helping others rebuild their strength — physically and emotionally — through movement and personal growth.
Now our community is coming together to help rebuild her space so that healing work can continue.
Your registration, donation, or virtual miles help make that possible.

CaliFlow Runs = Community
Running doesn’t have to be boring.
Running doesn’t have to be lonely.
At CaliFlow Runs, you belong exactly as you are. This is a place to show up with your people, be supported by your community, and be celebrated every step of the way.
We believe movement is better when it’s shared — when strangers become cheerleaders, finish lines turn into meet-up points, and everyone is rooting for everyone else. No pressure. No judgment. Just good energy and genuine connection.
We honor every accomplishment — your first race, a personal best, a comeback, or simply choosing to move your body and show up for yourself.
This isn’t just a race. It’s a shared experience. A finish line filled with high-fives, cheers, and moments you’ll remember long after race day.
