Ventura Seaside Half Marathon 2016
The Ventura Seaside Half Marathon 2016 is actually split up into three separate courses: a 5K, a 10K and a half marathon (approximately 21K). This mostly flat course is walker-friendly. Even the half marathon can be walked if you want to give it a try. Keep in mind, however, that it will take approximately four hours to walk at a pace of around 15 minutes or more per hour.
The Ventura Seaside Half Marathon 2016 race begins at 8am. The 10K will kick off at 8:20am. The 5K starts at 8:35am. All participants will be sent off in waves to help keep the flow steady and avoid bunch ups. Be mindful of the people around you. There will be moms and dads with strollers along the course. Also, an aid station is set up every mile and a half for your benefit.
At the end of the Ventura Seaside Half Marathon 2016, runners will enjoy a free glass of beer (for the 21+ crowd) or root beer and street tacos to refuel the body. For just $3 each, anyone cheering on the runners can also have a beer/root beer and street taco plate. You cannot register on race day. So, make sure you have your registration in place by Saturday, February 20th. You can register online here.
