Beachfront Run Half Marathon, 10K, 5K & Kids Run

Beachfront Run takes place on May 22, 2027, in Ventura, California. The half marathon (13.1 mi) starts at 7:00 a.m., the 10K (6.2 mi) at 7:30 a.m., the 5K (3.1 mi) at 7:45 a.m. and a children's 1K at 9:00 a.m. No elevation gain is listed.

Staggered starts fifteen to thirty minutes apart keep each field to itself, so you race your own distance rather than a crowd — worth taking advantage of by starting nearer the front than you would in a mass start. On the southern California coast the morning marine layer usually holds the temperature down until mid-morning, which makes the earlier starts the fastest of the three.
