Holly Jolly Marathon 2026
The Holly Jolly Marathon returns for its 14th year with multiple road race options in Camarillo, California. Races take place at Pleasant Valley Fields Park at the Village At The Park Sports Complex, 150 Westpark CT, Camarillo CA 93012.
Available race distances:
- Marathon
- Half marathon
- 10k

The course uses the Camarillo bike path and is described as mostly flat with no auto traffic on course. It is a USATF certified road race course. The full marathon is a two loop course with a generous seven hour time limit.
Aid and facilities are provided along the route. Water and Gatorade stations are placed approximately every 1.5 miles. The event operates cup free at water stations; runners may purchase a reusable cup at packet pickup for $3. Porta potties are located about every 1.5 miles and at the race expo area.
Packet pickup is held the Saturday before the race at Ventura Fit Body Boot Camp, Ventura CA. There is an early start option for runners who need additional time; early starters must notify organizers ahead of time and be familiar with the course, and they should plan to carry personal water for the initial portion when some stations may not yet be staffed.
Awards include top three overall male and female finishers in each race, top three in age groups, and top three teams across distances. Race swag includes a custom finisher medal, technical shirt, and reusable goody bag. The event is held rain or shine. No refunds are offered, but entries may be deferred to another Elite Sports CA event within 12 months. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
