Run Malibu Half Marathon & 5K
The event on November 8, 2026 includes a Half Marathon, a 5K and a Kids Run. A Combo Challenge is available for participants who complete both the 5K and the Half Marathon and earn three medals.
The Half Marathon course starts on the campus of California State University Channel Islands, passes through the Santa Monica Mountains, reaches the Pacific Coast Highway with ocean views on one side and mountains on the other, then heads south toward Thornhill Broome Beach and finishes just north of Mugu Rock. The CSU Dolphin 5K takes place on the university campus and features smooth roads and a course described as fast.
The weekend emphasizes wellness, community, and endurance. Organizers offer community resources through the Run Malibu Run Tribe and list VIP and basic combo options. All participants receive an exclusive 2026 race shirt and a finisher medal. A VIP Charity option allocates a portion of the upgrade fee to the Boys & Girls Club of Malibu, and $10 of every entry goes directly to that charity. Pricing options for certain entries are published by the organizers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
