Santa to the Sea Half Marathon Expo

The 2 day Santa to the Sea Half Expo is where thousands of motivated, health-minded runners — along with their families and friends — gather before race day to pick up bibs, shop, sample products, and connect with brands they trust.

Set adjacent to the beautiful Channel Islands Harbor, Santa to the Sea attracts runners from across the region who are serious about performance, recovery, lifestyle — and supporting businesses that help them feel and perform their best.

As a vendor, you’ll be front-and-center with a captive, energized audience that is actively browsing, asking questions, and ready to purchase.
