5K-Läufe in der Nähe von Camarillo

Der Mean Girls 5K, 10K und Half Marathon verwandelt den LA River Path in Canoga Park in North Shore High für ein Lauf-Event ganz im Comedy-Stil. Dieser Lauf gehört zu Jed and Ted's Excellent Races, einer Serie im San Fernando Valley, die sich um '80s and '90s movie and TV themes dreht. Hier gibt's eine entspannte, stressfreie Atmosphäre, weit weg vom Trubel eines großen Stadtmarathons. Du kannst zwischen 5K, 10K oder dem Half Marathon wählen, die ganze Veranstaltung ist so aufgebaut, dass sowohl Gelegenheitsläufer als auch die Locals oder Leute, die mal eine längere Distanz laufen wollen, auf ihre Kosten kommen. Die Hauptstrecke startet in Canoga Park und führt über den asphaltierten LA River path. Der 10K ist eine Wendepunktstrecke, ungefähr three miles lang auf einem durchgehenden Weg ohne Verkehrskreuzungen. Die 5K-Teilnehmer nutzen einen Teil davon, während die Half Marathon-Läufer die Strecke zweimal laufen, plus einen extra Abschnitt. Verpflegung gibt's am Start und am 5K-Wendepunkt. Die Deko ist eher dezent, passt aber zum Thema, die Medaillen sind für jeden Lauf einzigartig und der Zielbereich ist entspannt. Da kann man sich locker mit den Race Directors unterhalten und mit der Zeit auch die anderen Teilnehmer kennenlernen.

The Malibu Half Marathon begins and ends at Zuma Beach, with the primary race situated along Malibu’s Pacific Coast Highway. This event takes place over a weekend in November in Malibu, California. The main event is a half marathon, supported by a 5K, a children's run, and a combined option for participants wishing to compete in multiple events. The half-marathon course is USATF-certified, offering runners aiming for a specific time a validated 13.1-mile route. The half marathon follows an out-and-back path, with the ocean on one side and mountains on the other, featuring a total elevation gain of 378 feet. The 5K takes place before the half marathon, starting and finishing at Zuma Beach. The children's race is a half-kilometer run for participants aged 4 to 10. All finishers receive medals. Those completing the 5K and half marathon combo earn three medals. A VIP charity half-marathon entry allocates a portion of the fee to the Boys & Girls Club of Malibu. The event promotes itself as the first PCH Malibu running event, with the weekend focused on coastal running, wellness, and community, not solely on the half-marathon participants.

Santa To The Sea begins its half marathon at the giant Santa along Highway 101 in Oxnard, California, sending runners toward the coast in December. The race weekend features a half marathon, quarter marathon, 5K, Kids 1K, and a separate Diaper Dash, functioning as a family event as much as a road race. The half marathon is open to runners age 11 and older, while the shorter events offer options for children and newer runners. The race originated from a toy drive marking the relocation of the world’s largest Santa Claus from Carpinteria to Oxnard. This origin remains significant: Santa To The Sea is a nonprofit event that gathers toys for underprivileged children in Ventura County and raises scholarship funds for Oxnard College students. Its scholarship program, in partnership with Gene Haas and the Oxnard College Foundation, awards $500 scholarships to local high school students and adults pursuing further education.

The Jingle Bell Jog at Dos Vientos is a timed 5K and 10K run-walk held at Dos Vientos Community Park in Newbury Park, California. The course utilizes the streets in and around Dos Vientos.

Awards are given to the top three male and female finishers in each distance. All participants receive a race T-shirt and a custom 24-ounce Specialized water bottle. Parking and restrooms are available at the park. Dogs are not permitted at the event.

The Mountains 2 Beach Marathon and Half begins with a straightforward concept: run from inland Ventura County to the Pacific Ocean. The full marathon starts in Ojai, at just over 700 feet above sea level, while the half marathon begins in Oak View, nearer to the coast. The race weekend also offers a 10K, Beachfront 5K, Kids 1K Fun Run, and Combo Challenge for participants aiming to run a 5K on Saturday followed by a longer distance on Sunday. Both the marathon and half are point-to-point road races, with a USATF-certified course that qualifies runners for the Boston Marathon. The marathon descends gradually toward sea level over approximately 22 miles, tracing the Ventura River Valley before concluding near the Ventura Pier and Historic Downtown Ventura. The half marathon merges from the full course's midpoint, continuing downhill to the same beachfront finish. The 10K commences near mile 20 of the marathon route, then proceeds into Downtown Ventura and along the beach. The 5K follows the bike path and promenade adjacent to San Buenaventura State Beach Park. The finish line festivities are situated near the surf, dining, and shopping areas, and the event consistently sells out months in advance. Charity partners concentrate on children's health and wellness, with volunteers staffing aid stations, road crossings, course setup, and finish-line assistance.
