THE COURSES
The course will be different each day.  All start lines will be in Long Beach, with one day in Signal Hill.    All courses are along/on public sidewalks and the beach bike path.  There are no street closures, and only one or two of the courses have a very short traffic signal at a crosswalk.  Obey all street crossing signs/signals.  Some days will include a hill, but the majority of the day's courses are very flat.

RESTROOMS
All start/finish lines are near a public beach/park restroom, except the 2-mile course in Signal Hill.

WATER
Water bottles at the finish line each day.  There is no designated water stations along the course, but the beach and park routes do have water fountains.  It's best to bring your own water bottle for the course, if you feel you need one.

SIGN-IN & RACE NUMBERS
Sign-in will begin 15 minutes prior to each day's run.   You will receive your race bib number on the first day.  Be sure to wear your bib number each day - on your front. Safety pins will be provided.

PARKING
Free after 6 p.m. in beachfront parking lots (be sure to feed your meters til 6 p.m.).  Street parking is free.  Obey all posted parking signs.
