Race Description

• Starting Point: 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: This point-to-point 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.
• Course Features: Runners will love the gradual downhill nature of the race, which is prime to make you faster but not hurt the knees, and the amazing weather of the area.
• Finish Line Celebration: After a final tour of beach front 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.
• Qualification: As a certified Boston Qualifier, the courses, the race and the surrounding communities make for the perfect destination marathon and half.
