Flat, Fast, Festive and We Give Back!

It’s more than just a Half Marathon, it’s a friends and family event!

Opportunities for the whole family include: Half Marathon, 2-person Half Marathon Relay, 5K Run/Walk, 1K Kids Fun Run, Diaper Dash, Costume Contest, Charity Challenge, Neighborhood Challenge, Finish Line Festival & Holiday Marketplace, Toy Drive (3,000+ toys collected in 2018) and a Scholarship Program where scholarships are awarded.

The Santa to the Sea Finish Line Festival & Vendor Expo at Channel Islands Harbor is where it all comes together for thou­sands of race par­tic­i­pants, spec­ta­tors, supporters and community members. Crowds con­gre­gate early to visit ven­dors and get in posi­tion to cheer the run­ners, begin­ning with the 5K and 1K fin­ish­ers, fol­lowed by the half marathon­ers from around 9:00 am to noon.

What started in 2003 as a toy drive to cel­e­brate the relo­ca­tion of the world’s largest Santa Claus from Carpinteria to Oxnard has grown into a robust run­ning event, toy drive, com­mu­nity fundraiser, and holiday season celebration.
