Question 1

Is there free parking?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, parking isn’t free, but it costs just $2/hour and you can pay at the on-site pay station or use the “Passport” app on your phone to pay quickly and easily. Our runs can range from 30-90 minutes + hang time ($2-$4).

Question 2

Is it free to attend?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The event is completely free to attend (however this does not include parking). There are no fees and no sign-ups.

Question 3

Is there a set pace or distance?

Accepted Answer

There’s no set pace or distance, everyone moves at their own pace. Just show up and do what feels right for you! Most walkers go for 1–3 miles, runners typically do 3–5 miles, but there’s zero pressure.

Question 4

What do I need to bring?

Accepted Answer

All you really need are comfortable shoes and a good attitude, everything else is extra!
Just come as you are and get ready to move. We do have some awesome merch for sale like shirts and hats if you want to rep the crew, but it’s totally optional.

Question 5

Do I need to sign up or RSVP?

Accepted Answer

Nope! Just show up. No registration or RSVP needed. We're a casual, drop-in style community — come when you can!

Question 6

Are all ages welcome?

Accepted Answer

There are no age restrictions at all, everyone is welcome! We run along the boardwalk, so it’s a great spot for all ages. Strollers, bikes, and roller skates are also totally welcome too. Bring the whole fam or come solo, the priority is showing up and moving together.

Question 7

What if I'm not in shape/nervous to join?

Accepted Answer

Totally understandable, and you’re not alone! We welcome all fitness levels, no judgment. Whether you walk, jog, or do a mix of both, you're part of the crew the moment you show up!

Question 8

Where exactly do you meet?

We meet in the Alamitos Beach Lot, right in front of Gaucho Beach restaurant. Look for the friendly crew in running shoes!
