Long Beach, CA - The Long Beach Marathon is returning for its 40th year on Sunday, Oct. 6, 2024, with a weekend of events beginning Friday, Oct. 4. People traveling through Long Beach should plan to avoid street closures and map out access routes and should allow extra time for travel due to road closures and traffic delays.
Most road closures and detours will be in place at various times on a rolling basis between 5 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Oct. 6, unless otherwise noted. The closures generally include both sides of the street, unless otherwise noted. Streets affected include the following:
All roads are expected to be fully reopened by 2 p.m. on Sunday afternoon.
Streets along the racecourse will be marked with "no parking" signs, and vehicles in violation of the posted signs will be ticketed and towed at the owner's expense to the tow yard at 3111 E. Willow St.
A map and details about entering and exiting the impacted neighborhoods of Belmont Shore, the Peninsula, Naples, Belmont Heights, Bluff Park, Bluff Heights, Alamitos Beach, Park Estates and Los Altos can be found here.
Free parking Saturday night through Sunday will be available for Belmont Shore, Peninsula and Naples residents in the beach lots along Ocean Boulevard. Exiting may be possible at select areas on Sunday during the marathon by police escort. Boat owners who park at Marina Green on Saturday will still have access to that lot via Shoreline Village Drive. On Sunday, boat owners can park at the Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center via Pine Avenue.
