Overview

The Long Beach Loop is a 58 mile, 4 segment stair-walk circumnavigating the City of Long Beach. The loop climbs TBD feet as it traverses 48 stair-streets, and 102 stairways that are not stair-streets, for a total of 150 stairways, with 2,750 total up-steps and 2,513 total down-steps, for an average of 52.3% up-steps, and over 47.7% down-steps. The loop is a large clockwise route, starting/ending on Naples Island in Long Beach, in the southeast corner of the City.

The average segment length of the 4 segments is a 14.5 miles, ranging from 14.1 to 14.7 miles. The route traverses ALL of the stair-streets in Long Beach. Additionally, other useful or interesting stairways that are not stair-streets are also included in the route. The route also visits most of the parks in the City, 46 in total, as well as traversing 26 pedestrian bridges and tunnels.

Each segment starts and ends at either bus accessible location to aid those who may choose to use transit, or drive and use transit to return to their vehicles at the end of each segment.

This page will serve as the gateway to the table of quick links to the 4 segment maps at the top, and segment sub-pages, labeled A – D, describing all 4 segments in detail below the quick links. This page has segment stats, and finisher tables. Additionally, there is a Facebook photo album entitled, Long Beach Loop Summary, showing the overall Google route map, summary table, the GPS tracks of all 4 of the segment walks, and a finishers table [which are not yet complete, until we walk all 4 segments].

How to receive website credit for completing Segments:
Some kind of proof that you walked a segment is required for you to be officially credited with completion on the segment webpage. So please provide a GPS track of your walk. This can be done on your phone with a GPS tracking app, like Runkeeper, MapMyWalk, Galileo, and/or others. When you complete a segment, please send me a screenshot of your route track, and I will add you to the appropriate segment finishers tabls, and include you as an official finisher on that segment page.
