Join us for the Define Your Glow Run + Healing Expo, a powerful morning on the Long Beach waterfront celebrating movement, resilience, and community.
Whether you run, jog, walk, or participate virtually from anywhere in the world, this event is about the simple truth that movement helps us heal, reset, and reconnect with our strength.
The course is a flat, scenic out-and-back along the beach path — perfect for beginners, walkers, experienced runners, families, and dogs.

🌊 Why We Run
This event supports Define Your Glow, helping restore the home of founder Shannel, a certified run coach, 4 time IRONMAN finishers, and wellness coach whose home suffered severe damage after 27,000 gallons of water flooded the property.
Shanell has spent years helping others rebuild their strength — physically and emotionally — through movement and personal growth.
Now our community is coming together to help rebuild her space so that healing work can continue.
Your registration, donation, or virtual miles help make that possible.

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 half marathon is the distance where you find out what you're actually made of. Long enough to demand real preparation. Short enough that it doesn't consume your life to train for it. Most people who run their first half describe it as the race that changed their relationship with what they're capable of. Once you cross this finish line, the bar moves. That's not a warning — that's the point.
Race day energy varies by event size, but the finish line feeling is the same regardless. Big races keep the noise going the whole way. Smaller races give you stretches where it's just you and the miles — and that solitude becomes its own kind of fuel.
The half marathon rewards people who show up for the boring training miles.
How long to train: 10–14 weeks. If you're already running consistently, 10 weeks of structured buildup is enough. If you're building from a casual base, give yourself 14.
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.
