Say Hello To The 2020 MB10k Race Shirt

The Manhattan Beach 10k has been passionate about health and fitness since it was founded during the running boom of 1978! We have 42 years of history to reminisce and celebrate, the excitement of a 2020 Special Edition Race, and look forward to the years ahead. With this in mind, our MB10k race shirt is ‘throwback nouveau’ combining the design of 1982 with an updated logo for 2020.

2026 MB10k Finisher Tee Artwork

Good Day Sunshine

The Manhattan Beach 10k Race Committee is absolutely thrilled to unveil Derek Billings as our featured artist and showcase his incredible artwork on our official 2026 Finisher T-Shirt. Based right here in Manhattan Beach, Derek leverages over 20 years of design experience to transform exotic hardwoods and white birch panels into vibrant representations of coastal life. His signature style brilliantly juxtaposes dramatic black-and-white photography with bold, saturated shapes of color that perfectly capture the energy of our community.

In addition to custom abstract paintings, his studio offers premium wood-framed giclée prints featuring iconic Southern California surf scenes. We cannot wait to see thousands of runners wearing his celebrated coastal artwork this year, and for many years to come!

For more information, visit his website below or follow him on Instagram, @derekbillings. He'll also be at the Hometown Fair on race weekend!

Congratulations To Our 2026 MB10k Scholarship Recipients

One of the most rewarding parts of the Manhattan Beach 10k is the opportunity to support local students as they take the next step in their academic journeys. This year, we're honored to recognize a remarkable group of Mira Costa High School seniors who have distinguished themselves through scholarship, service, and a commitment to healthy living.

Year 49 of the MB10k Is Taking Shape

Every year, it starts the same way — a ton of early registrations, a little buzz, and then it builds. Friends start texting. Run clubs make plans. People who said, “Maybe this year.”, finally sign up. Before long, race day isn’t just on the calendar — it’s something you’re part of. That’s how the Manhattan Beach 10K comes together, year after year.

The MB10k - More Than a Race

For nearly 50 years, the Manhattan Beach 10k has been more than just a race — it’s a community tradition.

On race morning, it’s not just the racers. It’s the neighbors, the local bands, the volunteers, and the finish at the Manhattan Beach Pier. It’s why so many people come back. And why first-timers quickly understand what makes it special.

As we head into Year 49, Early Registration is already underway.

Why the Manhattan Beach 10k Fills Up Every Year

For nearly five decades, the Manhattan Beach 10k has been more than just a race — it’s a hometown tradition.

The first Saturday of October, thousands of participants take to the streets of Manhattan Beach, passing through neighborhoods lined with cheering spectators, live bands along the course, and finishing steps from the iconic Manhattan Beach Pier. For many participants, the MB10k isn’t just another race on the calendar — it’s something they come back for year after year.

Online Registration Is Now Open for the 49th Annual Manhattan Beach 10k

It’s official — online registration for the 49th Annual Manhattan Beach 10k is now open.

After selling out the last three years, the MB10k continues to be one of Southern California’s most anticipated road races, drawing runners of all ages and abilities to the streets of Manhattan Beach each fall. From the buzz of downtown, to the neighborhood support along the course, and a finish line at the iconic Manhattan Beach Pier, the MB10k delivers an experience that goes far beyond race day.

Thank You From The MB10k

What A Fun Race

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 48th Annual Manhattan Beach 10k on Saturday! We’re so grateful for another incredible, sold-out event and an unforgettable morning in our seaside community.

Your participation helps the Manhattan Beach 10k Race Committee continue giving back through scholarships and community fitness projects—thank you for keeping this tradition strong for nearly five decades!
