2026 Manhattan Beach 10k

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.
