🎤 Straight out of Long Beach 🏁
This one’s for the hometown heroes, and the runners who know Long Beach miles just hit different. 🏃♂️🌴
We’re bringing the tropical vibes, popsicles at the finish line 🍧, and a festival soundtrack that bumps—from Sublime to Snoop and everything in between that was born in the LBC. 🎶🕶️
We might even spot some parrots overhead 🦜—because it’s Long Beach, and nothing’s too weird here. CaliFlow was born here, and this is our love letter to the LBC.
Come run it, vibe it, and rep the Beach.

Race Day Photo Tips
📸 Want to look like a legend in your race photos? Here’s how to nail it at Mahalo Miles:
🖼️ Find the Lens
If you see Nina — smile, pose, or throw your hands up like you just crushed the finish line. Don’t be shy!
🙌 Celebrate That Finish
Throw up peace signs, arms overhead, or hit your signature pose. You earned that moment!
😅 Keep Running Through the Shot
Don’t slow down before the camera. Keep that stride strong until you're past the lens — trust us, it makes a difference.
🎭 Photo-Friendly Style Tips
Let your outfit shine! Bright colors, fun accessories, and bold expressions make for unforgettable pics.
🧽 Wipe the Sweat... Or Don’t
Want to look fierce and gritty? Rock that sparkle-sweat. Prefer a polished look? Give yourself a quick swipe before the lens.
💁 Remember: It’s Free
All race photos are 100% free and posted after the event. So go big, go silly, go full Mahalo
About the Course
Our courses are open-pathway routes — meaning they’re held on pedestrian-friendly trails like beach paths, park loops, and river trails. They’re car-free, safe, and full of good energy. Whether you're racing for a PR or strolling in costume, you'll be on a scenic route with no traffic to worry about.
👟 Because these are shared public spaces, you may pass by other walkers, joggers, or casual strollers who didn’t sign up — but that’s part of the CaliFlow charm. Just stay aware and respectful of those around you.
🎧 Pro tip: Save the Metallica for your post-race drive. Please keep the volume low enough to hear voices and instructions around you.
