A fast net-downhill point-to-point marathon from Ojai to the Ventura beachfront, starting in downtown Ojai at just over 700 feet, descending along the Ojai Valley Trail and Ventura River bike path, touring downtown Ventura, and finishing with over a mile of beachfront running near the historic Ventura Pier. The course is USATF-certified and one of the fastest Boston qualifiers in the U.S., with a net drop of roughly 724 feet.

Why attend here

April in Ojai means wildflower-dotted hills and warm, clear days, perfect for a marathon that winds from the arcade-lined downtown through orange groves and along the Ventura River to the beach — where you can cool off with a post-race stroll on the pier and a bowl of clam chowder at a seaside shack. Before the start, fuel up on a breakfast burrito from a local market, and after, explore the Ojai Valley Trail or sip a glass of Central Coast wine in the village.
