Run. Slice. Celebrate.

Celebrate National Pepperoni Pizza Day the only way that makes sense — with miles, medals, and melty slices at the finish line! Whether you’re chasing a PR, running for fun, or simply here for the pizza, this is one event you knead to be at.

Run along the scenic Long Beach coast, enjoy the ocean breeze, and cross the finish line straight into a full-on pizza party. And yes, we’ll be serving hot cheese and pepperoni slices — because carbs taste better after miles.
