Help Us Build This Page

Who knew in 1978 the Manhattan Beach 10k would become such a long lasting, beloved community event?!  The history of this race is scattered between local newspaper archives, social media, personal scrapbooks, random boxes in storage, framed on walls or even sewn into quilts.  We'd love your help in creating this page so we can celebrate the MB10k this year and into eternity! 

Please send us an email, info@mb10k.com, with your photos and stories to share on this page, on social and maybe even in our newsletter. Thank you!

We’ll kick things off with this highlight video from the 2013 race! Click the button to watch.
