Long Beach ICB Half Marathon October 12, 2008

Breathtaking, Fast and Flat Course

Perhaps no other Half-Marathon course in the country can match the scenery of this Long Beach event. The Half course is flat and fast and runs 100% along the shoreline.

The course time limit for Marathon & Half Marathon is 7.5 hours

T-Shirt - Finishers Medal and Goodie Bag

NEW FOR 2008! Marathon and Half Marathon participants who register by August 31 will receive a Technical Fabric running shirt in place of the participant t-shirt at the Marathon Expo.
