This year, the tradition of loading on pasta and other carbohydrates before the 25th Long Beach International City Bank Marathon is coming to Pine Avenue.

After years of heading to the Queen Mary, runners will come to downtown proper on Oct. 10 for the inaugural Pine Avenue Carbo Load co-sponsored by the Downtown Long Beach Associates.

Six restaurants -- George's Greek Deli, Smooth's Sports Grille, Alegria Cocina Latina, Sevilla, Hooters and L'Opera Ristorante -- will be offering distinct menus to fill runners up for the marathon or half-marathon.

Register by Oct. 3 and pay $20 per person and get a commemorative Pine Avenue Carbo Load t-shirt. After that, it's $22.50 per person. Visit http://www.dlba.org/restaurants.php to purchase meals.
