Mountains 2 Beach Marathon and Half

The Mountains 2 Beach Marathon and Half takes place April 18–19, 2026 in Ventura, California. The event offers multiple point to point races that finish near the Ventura Pier and the beachfront area of historic downtown Ventura. The marathon begins in downtown Ojai and the half marathon starts in Oak View at roughly the halfway point of the full course.

The marathon course descends from just over 700 feet to sea level across about 22 miles and is USATF certified as a Boston Marathon qualifier. The half marathon is limited to the first 2000 entrants. The full marathon was listed as sold out for this edition. Weekend services and information listed for the event include packet pickup and expo, shuttle and parking information, hotel accommodations, and event merchandise.

The event also highlights community involvement through official charity partners and volunteer roles that include aid stations, course support, finish line duties and course setup and breakdown. A finish area and postrace activities take place close to the surf, shops and restaurants of downtown Ventura. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
