PARKING: As this is a point-to-point run, you can either park by the start, or park by the Manhattan Beach Pier (which is where we will finish). If you park by the pier, note that you need to arrive earlier to take into account walking from downtown MB to the start area.
Manhattan Beach 10K
Saturday, 10/4 @ 7:30am
The race will sell out again, register soon at www.mb10k.com.
GROUP PHOTO – for those running the MB10K, meet at 7:00am at the intersection of 2nd Street and the Greenbelt for a group photo. Plenty of time to warm up (or use the porta-potty) after.
SBRC BOOTH AT EXPO – we have a booth at the finish line festival. It's a great place to meet up with your fellow SBRC members and family after.
