This is definitely a run you have to do either to win or as a way to donate to a good cause. The T-shirt is cheap and they didn’t have XS as advertised. Said there was a finishers medal but it was really a flimsy keychain. No age group awards as advertised which was a huge disappointment but good cash prizes for overall winners. Course is beautiful and it’s a super small race which is nice and you can see some of the Kings players as well.
Still no medal, but nicer t-shirt
Was disappointed that there still wasn't a finisher's medal for all participants, but the cotton t-shirt was nicer this year with the Kings' 50th anniversary logo. The bananas ran out … MORE
Was disappointed that there still wasn’t a finisher’s medal for all participants, but the cotton t-shirt was nicer this year with the Kings’ 50th anniversary logo. The bananas ran out quickly after the race (and I finished pretty quickly, improving last year’s time by about 2 1/2 minutes). Was nice to see the players and their families running/walking the race again. Got lots of photos with the players & alumni! Will definitely do this race again in the future due to the great scenery and fairly easy course!

This was my 2nd 5K ever and I wasn’t running seriously at the time, so I found the course to be somewhat challenging with a few minor hills through the streets of Redondo Beach; however, the part where you run along the Esplanade overlooking the beach was beautiful! The only included swag was a unisex cotton t-shirt, but an added bonus is that I got to meet several of the Kings players after the race and I got photos with them.
