Event Description

🚨 TO SERVE MAN: ALIEN INVASION RUN 👽🛸
August 16, 2026
📍 5400 E Ocean Blvd, Long Beach, CA 90803
🏃 5K & 10K Start: 8:00 AM 

 🏃 Half Marathon Starts at 7:00 AM


ATTENTION, EARTHLINGS.
The Department of Extraterrestrial Affairs has confirmed unusual activity along the Long Beach shoreline.

Multiple unidentified flying objects have been observed.
A mysterious cookbook titled "To Serve Man" has been recovered.
Agent 562 and Special Agent Frank have been assigned to investigate.

Their official recommendation:

Do not panic.

Do not trust the cookbook.

And whatever you do... don't become the main course.
Join us for an immersive, out-of-this-world race experience inspired by classic science fiction, government conspiracies, alien encounters, and the timeless question:

What if they really did come in peace?
Whether you're a believer, skeptic, conspiracy theorist, or simply trying to survive first contact, this is one race experience you won't want to miss.

Submitted for your approval:
A group of runners gather on a quiet Sunday morning along the shores of Long Beach.
The ocean is calm.
The sky is clear.
And somewhere above them, something is watching.
They've come from another world.
They claim they come in peace.
They offer gifts, knowledge, and promises of a better future.
All they ask is that humanity trust them.
The evidence seems convincing.
The questions seem harmless.
The invitation seems impossible to refuse.
But history has taught us that not everything is as it appears.

 

Especially when the answer is hidden in plain sight.
On August 16, 2026, runners will attempt a 5K or 10K journey through an unexplained encounter known only as...
TO SERVE MAN.
Will you cross the finish line?
Will you uncover the truth?
Or will you discover that some invitations come with a price?
Only those brave enough to participate will know for certain.
