Runners start the out-and-back course for the Ventura Half Marathon along Harbor Boulevard near the Ventura Pier, along the edge of San Buenaventura State Beach. From there, they’ll head southeast along Harbor Boulevard and Pierpont Bouelvard — and over the Santa Clara River — all the way to the midway turnaround point near Mandalay County Park. After that, they’ll retrace their steps all the way back to the Ventura Pier for the race finish.
