About the race
The Best Races hosts a Santa Monica run at Palisades Park along Ocean Avenue, offering 5K, 10K and half-marathon (13.1) distances. The event is designed as a small, private-group experience with capped waves, creating a warm, stress-free atmosphere that welcomes all paces and ages for either running or walking. Course specifics aren’t detailed on the page, but the location is clearly tied to the Palisades/Ocean Avenue area.
Special features include no timing chips with optional personal-time tracking, shipped swag (shirt, finisher medal, towel or giveaway), online results, and access to local run clubs. Packet pickup is eliminated, with shirts mailed prior to race day, and a virtual option available. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
