Venice Beach Half Marathon

Take a jog along the beach while raising money for local schools during the inaugural Venice Beach Half Marathon and 5K. Along the scenic route starting at 2600 Ocean Park Drive, participants will run down Ocean Front Walk, Venice and Abbot Kinney Boulevards and past Muscle Beach, the Canals and the old Venice Jail House—plus multiple entertainment spots, including a Grease performance at Venice High School—before finishing under the iconic Venice sign. There’s also a 1-Mile Junior or Family Dash and a .25-mile “Grunion Run” for kids.
