Hundreds of runners and walkers made their way past otters, jellyfish, and other marine life during the Aquarium of the Pacific 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, Oct. 5.

People of all ages took part in the race early Saturday morning, as part of the 40th annual Long Beach Marathon weekend. Long Beach welcomed more than 22,000 runners who are set to participate in events this year, organizers said.

As people ran or walked to beat personal records or have a good time with friends and family, they enjoyed the Aquarium of the Pacific’s exhibits, as well as having mascots, staff and volunteers cheer them on. Participants received some swag for running in the 5K, including an aquarium-themed finishers medal.

The 5K began at the aquarium, with participants then making their way around Shoreline Village Park, past the lighthouse in ShoreLine Aquatic Park and over the Queensway Bridge. After that, they turned around and finished the race by running through the aquarium.

The early morning did not stop adults and kids from smiling ear to ear as they made their way through some of Long Beach’s iconic landmarks and getting to wave at the sharks, fish, and otters.
