Santa To The Sea Half Marathon

The Santa to the Sea Half Marathon is an annual nonprofit running event held in Oxnard, California, typically on the second Sunday of December. The race starts at the giant Santa along Interstate 101 and winds through Oxnard’s scenic strawberry fields and historic downtown before finishing at the Marine Emporium Landing in Channel Islands Harbor. Alongside the half marathon, the event features a quarter marathon, 5K run, kids 1K fun run, and a Diaper Dash.

The festive atmosphere includes a Finish Line Festival with a kids play area, Santa’s Village, costume contests, food vendors, and live entertainment. Proceeds support local children’s programs, toy drives, and scholarships for Oxnard College students. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
