You’ll be picking up good vibrations at this Beach Boys–themed 5K in Santa Monica, celebrating the 60th anniversary of the band’s seminal Pet Sounds album. Meet at Third Street Promenade for a dedication ceremony and pre-race meditation by original Beach Boy Mike Love, then set off on a 5K through Palisades Park—there’s even a “Pet Sounds” pooch run for your four-legged friends. Once you cross the finish line, enjoy a post-race festival, with wellness activities and a VIP “Don’t Worry Baby” beer garden and live music (though a performance by the band itself isn’t on the schedule). The event is organized in partnership with the Surfrider Foundation to support ocean preservation.
