🖤 Season of the Witch Run
5K & 10K • Long Beach
Spooky season starts early in Long Beach.
Step into the Season of the Witch Run, a magical 5K & 10K experience where movement meets mysticism and the coastline becomes your coven. Witches, warlocks, mystics, and magical beings of all kinds are invited to lace up, costume up, and run into fall with us.
Set against the ocean backdrop at Granada Beach, this is more than a race — it’s a ritual.
Before the miles begin, gather for our Witch Warm-Up Ritual, a guided movement flow designed to awaken your body, focus your energy, and set your intention. Because how you start matters.
As the sun rises, we take off together — capes flowing, brooms flying, spells activated — for a scenic, flat, and fast coastal run that’s welcoming to runners, joggers, and walkers alike.
After you cross the finish line, the magic continues.
Stay for our Spellbound Stretch Cool Down, a grounding yoga session by the ocean to help your body recover, release, and restore. Then explore our Witchy Fair & Finish Line Festival, featuring psychic and tarot readers, crystals, mystical vendors, music, and some of the most epic photo ops of the season.
🧙♀️ Costumes are highly encouraged, and we’ll be awarding our Best Witch / Warlock Costume — so bring the drama, the sparkle, or the spooky glam.
✨ This is your reminder that movement is powerful.
✨ Healing can be playful.
✨ And running can be magic.
Come cast your spell with us.

Race Location
About This Sport
From Endurance Grid's Founder
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.
The 10K is the distance where running stops feeling like a starting point and starts feeling like a sport. Long enough to require a real training block. Short enough that race day is fully manageable for a first-timer who's put in the work.
Race day energy at a 10K is community at its best — strangers cheering you by name, people moving toward the same goal, an atmosphere that solo training can't replicate. It's fast enough that you'll spend the whole race pushing rather than managing your effort.
This is also the distance that builds the base for everything else. Most athletes who go on to run half marathons, do triathlons, or compete in HYROX started here. What you need: running shoes fitted to your stride, a training plan, and the race on your calendar. The registration is what makes the deadline real.
How long to train: 4–8 weeks for most fitness levels.
Running
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
