The The Wheely Fast Hamster Run 5K, 10K, Half Marathon by Califlow Runs

Are you ready for the 5th annual Long Beach Classic Half and 5K on May 31, 2026! The Long Beach Classic is Long Beach's favorite half marathon and 5K, hosted at the beautiful Marine Stadium. Besides a fast, flat, scenic course, you're going to love our after party, the Michelob Ultra Wine, Sip, Savor Festival.

The Festival brings you good times with multiple beverage options, live music, and everyone's favorite, In-N-Out Burger! Every half marathon finisher receives an entry into the festival. 5K Runners, friends and family have an option to purchase a ticket to the festival.

Join us for a splashy celebration of the awesome creatures cruising beneath the waves! Our local White Shark isn’t just a big toothy grin, it’s a vital part of the ocean crew, helping keep marine life balanced by managing populations of seals, sea lions, and more. Let's celebrate them!
