💀 About the Event
They say if you hear her… it’s already too late.
Welcome to La Noche de La Llorona Run, a SummerWeen night experience inspired by one of the most haunting legends ever told. Set along the Long Beach shoreline, this race unfolds under an almost full moon—when the veil is thin, the air is heavy, and something just beyond the water feels… alive.
Runners will move through fog, flickering light, and the quiet pull of the ocean—where whispers carry and shadows shift. Whether you’re here to chase a PR or simply embrace the energy of the night, this is a race you don’t just run… you feel.
Costumes are encouraged—ghostly whites, spirits, and creatures of the night.
