Updated 7/1/22: At this time, there are no directives from the City of Long Beach or County of Los Angeles requiring proof of vaccination for Covid-19 or proof of a negative Covid-19 test to participate in the Long Beach Marathon. If this maintains through the month of October, proxy pick-up where someone picks up your bib on behalf of you will be allowed again at the 2022 Long Beach Marathon. We will keep you posted ahead of race day.

Updated 1/1/2022: As you know, the situation surrounding COVID-19 protocols and regulations is changing rapidly and has resulted in various state and local health mandates. Below are the latest developments:
- A new Health order by the City of Long Beach states that attendees at all outdoor “mega events” – those with attendance of more than 10,000 people – will require proof of vaccination status or a negative Covid-19 test result prior to entry to the start/finish area on Sunday, October 10th. This order will affect participants of the Marathon, Half Marathon, and/or Bike Tour.
- A Health order by the City of Long Beach states that attendees, age 2 years and older, at all indoor events with over 1,000 in attendance will require proof of vaccination status or a negative Covid-19 test result prior to entry. This order will affect all that visit the Race Expo at the Long Beach Convention Center.
