4th annual Ventura Marathon and Beach Party

“I did it”

Mark your calendars for the 4th annual Ventura Marathon and Beach Party on Saturday and Sunday, September 10th and 11th at the Ventura Pier.

Aside from the marathon, there will be a half-marathon, a 5K, bike rides, a K9 Shuffle (dog walk) and an adventure/obstacle race. The beach party expo features live music (seven bands), MadeWest beer garden and dozens of exhibitors ranging from arts and crafts to health and fitness.

The flat and fast marathon course is a certified Boston Marathon qualifier and delivers an epic experience with a beachfront finish at the historic Ventura Pier. Race co-founder Josh Spiker said, “We are really excited about the new K9 Shuffle and the Adventure Race which will add to the weekend-long experience. These events are meant more for locals as the marathon and half tend to bring in thousands of out-of-towners.”

Anyone and everyone is welcome, from walkers to runners of all ages! The race will benefit several local charities including Humane Society Ventura County, Autism Society Ventura County and Alex’s Lemonade Stand, among others.
