    💀 About the Event

    Welcome back, campers… and may the luck be ever in your disfavor. 🍀

    They say strange things happen every Friday the 13th — but when it lands right before St. Patrick’s Day, you can bet the leprechauns are up to no good.

    Join us for Camp Shamrocked: The Unlucky Run, a moonlit race where green fog meets grit, and superstition takes the scenic route down the Long Beach shoreline. Whether you’re chasing a PR or just chasing your luck, you’ll be part of something rare — a tribe that runs through the chaos with heart, humor, and a little mischief.

    🌊 What to Expect

    USATF-Certified Course

    Chip Timing for accurate results ⏱️

    Free Race-Day Photos by Nina & Dre 📸

    Finisher Medals for All Participants 🏅

    Overall & Age Group Awards

    Campfire Finish Line Festival 🔥

    Costume Contest – Leprechauns, Lucky Charms & Creatures of the Night 👻

    DJ, Lights & Green Glow Effects for that signature CaliFlow After-Dark magic

    Runners, Walkers, and Shamrocked Souls of All Paces Welcome!

    🌕 Course Info

    The course begins under the glowing CaliFlow arch near Belmont Pier, winding along the oceanfront path under the light of the moon (and maybe a little mischief).

    Expect glowing green markers, fog and checkpoints straight out of Camp Shamrocked lore:

    🍀 Cabin 13 — where luck runs thin

    🪞 The Clover Crossing — every 13th step’s a gamble

    🔥 The Campfire Finish — where legends light up the night

    Half Marathon: 3 × 4.36-mile loops

    10K: 2 × 5K out-and-backs

    5K: 1 loop

    Each station will be fully stocked with water, encouragement, and a few surprises to keep your spirits high and your luck questionable.

    🧿 The Vibe – Welcome to Camp Shamrocked

    At CaliFlow Runs, we don’t chase luck — we create it. This is your chance to laugh in the face of superstition, defy the odds, and dance your way across that finish line under a canopy of stars and green glow.

    So grab your glow sticks, pull on something lucky (or not), and join us for the most unforgettable Friday the 13th run of the year.

    ✨ Not just a race. Join the movement.
