Mountains 2 Beach Marathon and Half

🏔️ Race Overview

Uniquely situated and completely surrounded by beautiful mountains, the city of Ojai holds the start of the Mountains 2 Beach Marathon while the half starts closer to the beach.

🌊 Race Course

• Point to Point: This race winds through the Ventura River Valley as it makes its way to the pristine beaches of the last great surf town in California, Ventura.
• Downhill Race: Runners will love the gradual downhill nature of the race, which is prime to make you faster but not hurt the knees.
• Scenic Route: Enjoy the amazing weather of the area throughout the course.

🎉 Finish Line Festivities

After a final tour of beachfront Ventura, runners and their families are treated to a finish line party only steps away from the surf and the shops and restaurants of Historic Downtown Ventura.

🏅 Qualifying Information

As a certified Boston Qualifier, the courses, the race, and the surrounding communities make for the perfect destination marathon and half.
