The race starts in the eclectic town of Ojai, California and finishes in the vibrant beach town of Ventura. The race drops ~900 feet providing a gently downhill course that is crazy fast without the damage of ultra downhill marathons. In 2022, we were California's 3rd top Boston Marathon Qualifier.
The race starts just South of Ojai, California and winds down roads and the Ojai-Ventura bike path dropping over 500 feet before finishing in Downtown Ventura. The course is FAST and is USATF certified making it a perfect course to get a personal best.
Our pre and post race festival takes place in the ridiculously cool Downtown Ventura. Enjoy exhibitor booths, relaxing, post race waffles and craft beer, and then venture into Downtown for shopping, dining, and sight seeing. Ventura is now home to the X-Games.
