The Beach Boys singer, songwriter and founding member Mike Love will be onsite for the inaugural BEACH BOYS 5K & WELLNESS DAY, leading a special pre-race meditation at the start line, bringing a moment of mindfulness and intention to kick off the day’s festivities. Immediately following the meditation, a dedication ceremony will take place, further honoring the band’s cultural legacy and deep ties to California.
For more than 60 years, The Beach Boys have personified and shared the California Dream and Endless Summer spirit embodied in their timeless classics such as “Surfin’ U.S.A.,” “I Get Around,” “Wouldn’t It Be Nice,” “Fun, Fun, Fun,” “Surfer Girl,” and more. Now, that sun-drenched, fun-loving attitude has inspired the creation of this event, to be held in the heart of Santa Monica on the Third Street Promenade on May 16, 2026. “As a veteran meditator and yoga practitioner, I am thrilled and honored to be a part of this special day in Santa Monica, my backyard, celebrating wellness and community. Congratulations to everyone participating in the 5K run, remember, take good care of your feet, stretch, hydrate, but most of all have FUN FUN FUN. Namaste.” - Mike Love
