Labor of Love 5k/10k Run

Labor of Love: Merging Forces 5K/10K is an inaugural Labor Day run/walk in Long Beach benefiting Merge Opportunities, a workforce development nonprofit that helps underserved young adults, system-impacted individuals, and transitioning foster youth access paid training, apprenticeships, job placement, mentorship, and long-term career support. Hosted in partnership with CaliFlow Runs, the race begins near the iconic lighthouse at Shoreline Village and follows a flat, scenic route through the village and along the beautiful beach path, making it a great course for runners, walkers, families, company teams, and community supporters. Participants can expect professional chip timing, instant results powered by ChronoTrack, free race day photos, multiple on-course water stations, vendors, music, and CaliFlow’s signature finish-line energy. Start your Labor Day with purpose, movement, and community as we launch a new tradition where every step helps young adults move toward stable careers and brighter futures.
