The perfect race for a PR thanks to its fast, flat course, Ventura’s Shoreline Half Marathon starts and finishes in Emma Wood State Beach Group Campground, just past the RV park. From there, runners first head west through Emma Wood State Beach and then join up with the bike path, which they’ll follow for the next few miles until they reach the turnaround just past Faria Beach. After that, they’ll retrace their steps back to the start before cross the finish line.
