Santa To The Sea

The Santa to the Sea Half Marathon and 5k, is based in the coastal com­mu­nity of Oxnard, Ca., and just 40 min­utes north of Los Angeles. The Half Marathon and 2 Per­son Relay starts at the leg­endary Santa Claus statue, located along the 101 free­way in Nye­land Acres, just out­side of Oxnard. The run­ners fol­low a flat and fast, USATF cer­ti­fied course, run­ning along the fra­grant straw­berry fields, through the areas of his­toric Oxnard dec­o­rated for the Hol­i­days, to the beach, and fin­ish­ing at Chan­nel Islands Har­bor and our EXPO Village. Our cer­ti­fied looped 5k course, per­fect for both expe­ri­enced run­ners and those new to the sport, starts and fin­ishes at the Marine Empo­rium Land­ing EXPO Vil­lage in the Chan­nel Islands Harbor. Since 2012, we have included a supervised 1K Kid’s Run to the annual event. The Kid’s Run takes place in the EXPO Village, and allows the kids to safely finish, on the race course, and in the Finish Chute.
