Surfers Point Marathon 2027
Surfers Point Marathon is a road running event at Solimar Beach in Ventura, California. The course runs along the Ventura beachfront and Historic Old Rincon Highway and is described as mostly flat with ocean views. The full marathon is run on a looped course. The event uses a USATF-certified course and is listed as a Boston-qualifier route.
The event offers multiple race distances:
- Marathon
- Half Marathon
- 10K
- 5K
Aid and logistics include water and Gatorade stations approximately every 1.5 miles, porta-potties along the route, and mile markers on course. Water stations use a cup-less system; reusable cups are available for purchase at packet pickup or race check-in. A generous seven-hour time limit applies to the full marathon. An early-start option is available for full marathon runners who notify organizers in advance, though some early-runners must be self-sufficient for the initial portion of the course before all stations open.
Packet pickup is held before race day at Ventura Fit Body Boot Camp. There is no athlete parking at the Rincon; shuttle service is provided from designated pickup locations. Awards are presented to top overall finishers and age-group top three, and finishers receive event swag including a medal, tech shirt, and reusable tote. The post-race expo includes a complimentary plate of street tacos. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
