This All Takes Place On A Very Scenic & Fast 26.2 Mile World Class Marathon Course That Runs Mostly By The Coastal Waters Off Long Beach w/ A Minimal Change In Elevation.


There Will Be All Types Of Rock & Roll Bands, Jazz & Blues Bands, DJ's & Other Various Forms Of Entertainment Lining The Race Course Along w/ The Many Thousands Of Spectators & Volunteers Cheering On All The Runners.


In Addition, There Is A World Class Expo As Well As A Finish Line Festival That Is Second To None Which Also Includes A Beer Garden...


As A Volunteer For This Event For Well Over 20 Years Now, I Have Personally Witnessed It's Early Grass Roots Growth Of A Few Hundred Runners To It's Now Current Level Of About 25,000 Total Marathon Race Participants.
