About

The Great White Chase takes place in Long Beach, California, in late May, at Belmont Pier. It celebrates marine life and the role of the local great white shark in keeping ocean ecosystems in balance. Runners choose from a half marathon (13.1 miles), a 10 miler, a 10K and a 5K, with the half and the 10 miler starting at 7:00 a.m. and the shorter races at 7:30 a.m.

The open course runs along the beach, and support is provided on site, including water stations and first aid. Bibs must be worn visibly, and a bag check is available. Top runners receive awards, and race photos are provided free of charge. Beach paths can be sandy or breezy, so check the surface details before choosing your shoes.
