Surfers Point Marathon : Ventura, CA
Surfers Point Marathon is a coastal road race held at Solimar Beach in Ventura along the Pacific Coast Highway. The event offers multiple distances on measured roads, including a three-loop full marathon course that is mostly flat and USATF certified as a Boston qualifier. The route runs along the Ventura beachfront and Historic Old Rincon Highway and features ocean views and a bike-path shoulder used for the course.
Race services include course water and sports drink stations spaced at about 1.5-mile intervals, porta potties along the course and at the expo, and mile markers. The event uses cup-less water stations; reusable cups are available for purchase at packet pickup and race check-in. A seven-hour time limit applies to the full marathon, and an early-start option is offered for full marathon runners who notify the organizers in advance; early starters should be prepared to carry their own water for the initial portion and must know the course.
Race weekend logistics include packet pickup at a local fitness facility before race day, shuttle parking options for participants, a post-race expo with finisher items, and awards for top finishers overall and in standard age groups. Event finisher items include a medal, sublimated shirt, reusable tote, and a post-race plate of street tacos. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
