💘 About the Event
Welcome to Camp Heartbreak, where love stories end in sprint finishes and Cupid’s arrows miss… on purpose. 💀

Join us for Run If You Dare, a Friday-the-13th Valentine’s race that mixes romance and ruin under the moonlit shoreline of Long Beach. Whether you’re running from your ex, chasing closure, or just here for the medal and the music, this night’s for the fearless and the heart-strong.

🩶 Course Info
Your journey begins beneath the glowing CaliFlow arch at 5400 E. Ocean Blvd, tracing a flat, paved path along the waves — scenic, fast, and a little bit sinister.

Each turnaround hides a “Camp Heartbreak” surprise — maybe a runaway Cupid, a rose-covered machete, or a love letter gone wrong.

Half Marathon: 3 × 4.36-mile loops
10K: 2 × 5K out-and-backs
5K: 1 loop

Every station features glowing course markers, cheering “counselors,” and enough good vibes to heal even the most tragic of love lives.

 
🔥 The Vibe – Totally Camp CaliFlow

Think Valentine’s Day Massacre meets Glow Run Rom-Com.
We’re talking camp signs, flickering lanterns, red lights, and finish-line slow jams.

Whether you come solo, with your sweetheart, or as a crew of heartbreak survivors, one thing’s for sure — you’ll leave with a full heart and maybe a few goosebumps.

Because at CaliFlow Runs, we don’t fear Friday the 13th.
We run right through it — in style, with heart, and with a whole lot of glow.

✨ Not just a race. Join the movement.
