Blue Moon 5K. 10K. Half Marathon by Califlow Runs

The Blue Moon Half Marathon takes place in Long Beach, California, a coastal city that offers runners a seaside setting for their race. Marine Stadium and the surrounding beach paths provide the backdrop for this event, giving participants the chance to run in an area where water and urban landscape meet. The location has the feel of a classic Southern California running destination, with the Pacific nearby and the casual energy that comes with a beachside community. The course itself is flat to gently rolling, which means you won't face any serious elevation challenges. This is a road-based half marathon that stays relatively level throughout, making it a good option if you're looking for consistent pacing without major climbs to manage. Runners should expect a straightforward route along the beach paths and surrounding roads, with the kind of terrain that lets you settle into a rhythm early and focus on execution rather than fighting topography. The flat character of the course makes it well suited to runners chasing time goals or those who prefer a smoother effort over a hilly grind.
