The Mountains 2 Beach Marathon is 26.2 miles of mountain and beachfront scenery. Starting in beautiful downtown Ojai, California, you start off with a 6 mile loop through East Ojai. This loop brings runners back by the start area which makes for great spectating. After running back through town you approach community of Meiners Oaks. After a few miles, the course takes a right onto the Ventura River Bike Path. After exiting you head Santa Ana for some back country roads. After several miles trending downhill, runners begin to see civilization again on Ventura Ave. At Shell Rd turn back onto the final section of our paved bike path and continues to Downtown. After a tour of downtown Ventura, runners make one of the final turns and come face to face with the famous Ventura Beach front. Try not to get distracted by the beauty as you still have just over a mile to go of beach side running which brings you to the finish line and festival. Over the 26.2 miles you will see beautiful mountain peaks, the Ventura River Basin, the Historic Ventura Downtown district, and the world renowned Ventura Coast line. There is a total downhill of over 700 feet. The course is a lightning fast, USATF certified Boston Marathon Qualifier (CA22014TEB). Space is limited so don’t wait and miss out. We have sold out every year, several months early!
