5k
We are proud to announce the addition of the Inside Track Beachfront 5k to the line up of amazing running events. With a beautiful oceanside start the Inside Track Beachfront 5k never loses eyesight of the beautiful Ventura Beaches as it runs along with the participants of the Half and Full Marathon before it cuts away and finishes with a 1 1/4 mile waterfront finish. 5k participants will enjoy the same finish line as the Marathoners and Half Marathoners, along with all the amenities and of course the Beachside Party afterwards. And the best thing yet…. 100% of net proceeds of the Inside Track Beachfront 5k goes directly to benefit the Ventura Education Partnership. An all volunteer organization dedicated to raising funds directly for the classrooms of Ventura.
