Holiday Fun 5k, 10k, 15k, Half Marathon 2026

The Holiday Half Marathon & 5K takes place over a weekend in December at Marine Stadium in Long Beach, California. The schedule features a half marathon, a Christmas Light or Glow 5K, and the Penguin Waddle Kid's Run, catering to those seeking a longer race and families wanting a shorter holiday activity. The event is in its 18th year and recently relocated to the Marine Stadium site. Participants completing multiple races receive a Golden Snowflake Medal. The Christmas Light 5K received positive comments during its initial year, and the organizer emails race photos once results are published.
