Event Details

The Mountains 2 Beach Half Marathon is a fast, beautiful flat to gradually downhill course. The start line begins on a quiet country road called Santa Ana, in the small town of Oak View. You will begin your race just off the Full Marathon route. Once you make your first left onto Santa Ana Rd you will be on the same route as the Full. Heading towards Ventura on these back country roads you will eventually encounter our final section of our Ventura River bike path at Shell Rd. Our paved bike path continues to Downtown Ventura. After a tour of downtown Ventura, runners make one of the final turns and come face to face with the famous Ventura Beach front. Try not to get distracted by the beauty as you still have just over a mile to go of beach side running which brings you to the finish line and festival. Over the 13.1 miles you will see beautiful mountain peaks, the Ventura River Basin, the Historic Ventura Downtown district, and the world renowned Ventura Coast line. The finish line and festival are directly adjacent to the beach which beckons you for a post-race soak. The course is USATF Certified and should run lightning fast!
