Marathon versenyek Santa Clarita közelében

The Ventura Marathon guides runners from Ojai to Ventura along California’s coast, offering full and half marathon distances designed for fast, downhill running. The full marathon begins in Ojai and concludes in Ventura, descending approximately 900 feet. The half marathon starts south of Ojai, drops over 500 feet, and finishes in Downtown Ventura. Both races cater to participants aiming for a personal best or a Boston qualifying time. The half marathon incorporates roads and the Ojai-Ventura bike path, while the full marathon follows a consistent downhill point-to-point course to the beach. The half course is USATF certified. The race weekend is based in Downtown Ventura, featuring a festival with exhibitor booths, waffles, craft beer, and proximity to local businesses. Ventura’s association with the X-Games contributes an additional element of sports culture to the event.
