At approximately Mile 10.5, is "the split" where the Half Marathoners circle back west on Ocean Blvd. Marathoners continue east on Ocean Blvd. to Livingston, passing through beautiful Belmont Shore .

Miles 12-13 take in the spectacular scenery of Marine Stadium , then make a U-Turn at the end of Marine Stadium. After leaving Marine Stadium, runners circle Colorado Lagoon and head towards California State University , Long Beach

Introduced in 2008 to great reviews, miles 17, 18, and 19 travel through the campus of California State University, Long Beach and pass the Pyramid Sports Complex. In 2008, there were 6,000 students and supporters on hand to cheer the athletes along through the campus!

Pass Recreation Park , Blair Field and the Colorado Lagoon , the homestretch is now in sight. Reconnect to Ocean Blvd. alongside beautiful Bluff Park , and head through "the corridor" after mile 25 before reaching downtown.

Celebrate as you turn left from Ocean Blvd. onto Shoreline Drive for the slight downhill finish directly across from the Marina Green Beach Party Finish Line Festival.
