Ventura Marathon
Event Details
Get your PR in 2025 at the Ventura Marathon!
Both the half and full marathons run gently downhill from the Ojai area down to Ventura followed by a post-race festival in the heart of downtown Ventura.
Full Marathon – The fast and scenic Ventura Marathon is back this year. This point-to-point marathon is the perfect amount of downhill starting in Ojai and ending in Ventura. The course winds along the paved paths of the Ojai Valley Trail and Ventura River Trail bringing runners towards the coast and one of Southern California’s most popular surf destinations. Qualify for Boston or run a new PR and spend a weekend in beautiful Ventura.
Half Marathon – Half the distance, but just as fast and beautiful. This point-to-point half marathon gently rolls downhill from Ojai into Ventura. The course winds along the tree-lined paved paths of the Ojai Valley Trail and Ventura River Trail bringing runners toward the coast and one of Southern California’s most popular surf destinations. After cruising into the finish, enjoy a Belgian Waffle breakfast – you’ve earned it!
Festival – 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
We are excited to see everyone for another fun and fast year!
