Mountains 2 Beach Marathon

Mountains 2 Beach Marathon is a point-to-point running weekend in Southern California, starting in downtown Ojai and finishing near the Ventura Pier. The event offers a full marathon, half marathon, 10K, 5K, Beachfront 5K, Kids 1K, and a Combo Challenge over a single weekend. The courses descend gradually from about 700 feet to sea level, winding through the Ventura River Valley to the beaches of Ventura.

It’s described as lightning fast and USATF-certified as a Boston Qualifier (CA24015TEB). Runners enjoy mountain-to-beach scenery, a celebratory finish-line party near Historic Downtown Ventura, and charity partnerships, with space limited and medals for the weekend.
