The Long Beach Together We Walk 5K Walk and Fun Run returns to Shoreline Park on March 8, 2026, inviting neighbors and families to unite in support of those impacted by cancer.
Hosted by Cancer Support Community South Bay, the event honors the late Judith Opdahl, whose leadership built a foundation of compassionate support for local families since 1987.
This gathering is more than just a walk—it's a chance for survivors, supporters, and loved ones to turn tough experiences into meaningful action and community connection.
Everyone is welcome, from serious runners to groups seeking a steady stroll, including leashed dogs and children.
Participants enjoy free t-shirts and a chance to contribute through fundraising, all while helping ensure support remains accessible for those facing cancer in Long Beach and beyond.
Registration opens January 16, 2026. Read More... |
