There’s a window every year where signing up for the MB10k just makes sense.
Before prices go up.
Before summer gets busy.
Before race day starts to feel close.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
