Have you been wanting to get healthier?
Looking for a reason to start walking more?
Want to spend a beautiful morning outdoors with friends, family, your dog, or your kids?
The Health is Wealth 5K was created for YOU.
This isn't just a race. It's a celebration of movement, wellness, community, and taking that first step toward a healthier life.
Whether you run, jog, walk, push a stroller, or simply come to enjoy the wellness expo, you'll be welcomed into a supportive and encouraging environment where everyone belongs.
No experience needed.
No pace requirements.

Why This Event Is Different
Most races focus on speed.
Health is Wealth focuses on feeling better.
Our flat, beginner-friendly Long Beach course follows the beautiful coastline and is perfect for first-time participants. Walk the entire 5K, jog a little and walk a little, or run your heart out—the choice is yours.
Bring your family.
