Chasing Churros 5K, 10K & Half Marathon by Califlow Runs

Chasing Churros 5K, 10K & Half Marathon by Califlow Runs is held in Long Beach, California, on January 3, 2027. The half marathon (13.1 miles) starts at 7:00 a.m. and the 10K and 5K at 8:00, on a USATF-certified oceanfront course. Chip timing, overall and age-group awards and several water stations are part of the setup, dogs and strollers are welcome, and entry includes free race photos and a custom finisher medal.

Certification and chip timing separate this from the untimed holiday races filling the same fortnight: if you want a number to plan January around, here is one that counts. A certified oceanfront course also suits a PR attempt for anyone who came out of the fall sharp, since the pacing is even and the surface consistent. Because dogs and strollers share the road, seed yourself honestly at the start and leave the front of the field a clear line.
