Description
Lace up and get ready to move through one of L.A.’s most iconic neighborhoods at the inaugural Venice Beach Half Marathon & 5K! Whether you're a serious runner, a casual jogger, or just in it for the post-run vibes, this event has something for everyone. Choose from the Half Marathon, 5K, 1 Mile Youth Jog, or the Family Walk—and don’t miss the adorable “Grunion Run” for the littlest athletes.
The race route winds past legendary Venice landmarks like Muscle Beach, the Venice Canals, and the old Venice Jail House, finishing under the iconic Venice sign. It's more than just a race—it's a celebration of community, fitness, and the westside spirit, all while raising funds for local schools and supporting small businesses. Oh, and did we mention? Every participant scores a race shirt, a bib, and a shiny finisher medal!
