The Experience

Hello Runners & Walkers! We’re excited to invite you to City Impact's 16th Annual Beachfront Run on Saturday, May 30, 2026, at the beautiful Ventura Promenade.

Enjoy a race course with stunning views of Ventura’s coastline while participating in one of our exciting race options: Half Marathon, 10K, 5K, or the Kids 1K Run. The event will also feature a variety of vendors, lively music, and a festive awards ceremony. Each participant will receive a custom event shirt and a finisher’s medal. Please note that if you register after March 15th, 2026, we cannot guarantee your preferred shirt size. Awards will be given to the top 3 finishers in each 10-year age category (10-19, 20-29, etc.), so everyone has a chance to shine!  Whether you’re racing or cheering, this is a perfect event for friends, family, and colleagues to come together and enjoy the day. All proceeds from the event will benefit City Impact’s programs supporting at-promise youth and families. Your participation makes a difference, and we thank you for your support!        

If you should have any questions, please email info@cityimpact.com or call 805.983.3636 x105.     Much appreciation,

Vickie Saipale Development/Event Manager
