Cons: Just over 2-mile out and back that can be boring with nothing to look at except sand and water.

The “Monster Dash” in Long Beach had cute medals, I loved them. I love “A Better World” running organization, and run a race a month with them. Their events are very well organized. They hold races in Long Beach, Santa Monica, Van Nuys, and Huntington Beach on a monthly basis. They’re small (about 150 runners), held on the beach or in a park and there’s gatoraid station and a great swag bag (cloth bag) with bananas and snacks and some samples.
