Santa To The Sea 1/2 Marathon, 1/4 Marathon & 5K

This flat and fast race starts at 7:30 am. Our Half Marathon is great for veteran runners, as well as first-timers, and has for many, become one of their favorites. Along the course you will be encouraged and supported by local spectators, volunteers, and cheer-squads. You’ll also be motivated musically by the many bands we have lined up along the race.

Ready for something longer but not quite ready for a half marathon? Well, the 1/4 Marathon or 6.55 miles is for you. The 1/4 Marathon will start at our half way point in the beautiful Downtown District in Oxnard at Plaza Park. Replacing our Relay event, you now get to run with your friends and family at this festive race.
Run the second half or our lighting fast route and celebrate at the same finish as your longer distance colleagues.

The Santa to the Sea 5K, is a flat and fast course. Many runners have established their personal record here, and continue to return. The 5K is also a great race for beginners. We see more first-timers every year, many of whom return to run the Half Marathon, or the 1/4 Marathon, in following years. Additionally, it’s a perfect race for families of all ages to run together and celebrate a great accomplishment.

Our super­vised, non-competitive 1K Kid’s Fun Run starts near the Santa to the Sea Fin­ish Line, in the EXPO area. With vol­un­teers cheer­ing along the way, the chil­dren will fol­low a paved and safe route, end­ing with a final sprint in the offi­cial finisher’s chute, and under the Santa to the Sea arch.

We thought we had the whole family covered. But, we for­got one very impor­tant group, BABIES. This year we will cap the race to 35 babies. We will have 7 races with 5 babies in each race. The 7 win­ners will advance to the cham­pi­onship. The course will be about 10 feet long on a small stage with coaches on both ends. One starts the baby off and the other coach cheers the baby to the fin­ish line. The babies must crawl, any stand­ing or walk­ing and the babies will be dis­qual­i­fied. Cuteness guaranteed!
