About the race
Ventura Marathon is held in Ventura, California, and features two distances: a Marathon and a Half Marathon. Now in its 12th edition, both courses are point-to-point downhill routes, with the full marathon touted as one of the top Boston Marathon qualifiers in the state and country. Runners can expect a gently downhill, fast course and a supportive atmosphere designed to encourage PRs.
The event also promotes a festive finish with added perks: the first beer, a light waffle breakfast, and swag for participants. The race includes expo, aid stations, and a finish-line experience. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
