Running in Manhattan Beach

The Strand is the main artery — a 22-mile paved path running the length of the South Bay coastline, connecting Manhattan Beach to Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, and beyond. It is flat, scenic, and packed with runners at any hour. For those who want elevation, Hill Street cuts straight up from the beach and is a notorious local benchmark for fitness — locals call them "the Hill" and clubs often program these into their weekly workouts. Polliwog Park provides a pleasant 0.7-mile loop through green space ideal for warm-ups and easy recovery runs, and Mira Costa High's track hosts weekly speed sessions. The Manhattan Beach running community is tight-knit and active, with several clubs meeting at the pier plaza, at Redondo Pier just south, or at the running stores along Highland. Post-run coffee culture is strong here — you will rarely struggle to find a group heading to a cafe after a Saturday long run.
