The race weekend includes three distances: a full marathon (26.2 miles), half marathon (13.1 miles), and the Aquarium of the Pacific 5K, which runs through the aquarium itself. Courses wind through Long Beach’s waterfront, residential neighborhoods, and coastline before looping back to the Convention Center.
