Gare di Half Marathon vicino a Port Hueneme

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.

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.
