The Manhattan Beach 10k has been passionate about health and fitness since it was founded during the running boom of 1978! We have 42 years of history to reminisce and celebrate, the excitement of a 2020 Special Edition Race, and look forward to the years ahead. With this in mind, our MB10k race shirt is ‘throwback nouveau’ combining the design of 1982 with an updated logo for 2020.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 48th Annual Manhattan Beach 10k on Saturday! We’re so grateful for another incredible, sold-out event and an unforgettable morning in our seaside community.
Your participation helps the Manhattan Beach 10k Race Committee continue giving back through scholarships and community fitness projects—thank you for keeping this tradition strong for nearly five decades!
The 41st running of the Manhattan Beach 10k took place on Saturday, October 6, 2018 and we’d like to give a big thanks to all those who participated in it!

Per tradition, you really haven’t finished the #mb10k until you enjoy a beverage at Shellback Tavern! We took a moment to chat with owner Bob Beverly about why this is the obvious next stop after the race.
The tradition began with the very first race with Shellback Tavern opening early for the race crowd. In the early days it was a lot of can beer to go which was consumed on the street!
We have a simple rule. Offer a decent product at a fair price in a friendly environment and you can't go wrong! We are known as a casual non pretentious neighborhood joint. All customers treated with respect and equally. At any time you may find the LA Kings or Galaxy. Mark Cuban has his table. TV personalities and rock stars. We are geared for good times for all.
Russ Lesser approached us about being an official sponsor about 7 years ago but we have always helped out where needed at the finish area.
I personally have not raced but many in my family have participated over the years. I have never missed cheering on the runners.
