Run Malibu Half Marathon

Run Malibu Half Marathon is held in Malibu, California, on November 8, 2026, over the half marathon distance of 13.1 miles. The route is point-to-point along the Pacific Coast Highway, taking in rocky bluffs, sand beaches and steep hills, with the ocean alongside you for much of the way. The event is framed around health and fitness, brings together athletes from around the world and supports charitable causes.

Do not expect a personal best here. A hilly coastal half is run by effort, not by splits, and the smart approach is to hold something back on the climbs so you can still run the descents well. Twelve weeks of preparation with a weekly long run and regular hill work will make the difference between enjoying the coastline and merely surviving it.
