Before the 2023 Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach, racing fans and runners of all skill levels and ages will have the opportunity to “run the course” at the 5th Annual G&M Presents Grand Prix Foundation 5K, which will benefit local charities through the Grand Prix Foundation of Long Beach.
Participants will run a two-lap tour of the world-famous Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach race course including Pine Avenue and Seaside Way, with the finish at the official Grand Prix start/finish line on Shoreline Drive. Kids 12 and under can get in on the action with the Kids’ Turbo 1K, which will take place after the main races on a portion of the regular race course. The other two races will be the Elite/Pro 5K (those who can finish the race in under 25 minutes) which will start at 7:30 a.m. and the run for the general public, beginning at 8:00 a.m.
Results from the 2022 Grand Prix 5K can be found here.
