From the organizer

It's back! We are hosting our 2nd Annual Earth Day Race! We're excited to be hosting another one of our NIGHT races!

Your $20 entry fee will get you this unique Earth Day medal and a neat finisher’s bib. We will also have additional medals for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place male and female to finish.

If you ran last year's Earth Day 5k, you know exactly what’s in store! This is an out-and-back course right on the beach boardwalk alongside the sand and surf. The views are absolutely beautiful. We’ll meet right by the Belmont Brewing Company in Long Beach, at the start of Veterans' Pier, and head out on the beach path for a 5k. Bib pickup is between 6 pm and 6:30 pm.

Afterwards, runners will head inside BBC for food, drink, and laughter.

Results will be posted online within 36 hours of the event and this event counts for your Century Club totals, if you're a member of AREC.
