The mild ocean breezes and flat, forgiving terrain of the Southern California farmland areas just outside Los Angeles form the backdrop for the race route at the Camarillo Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K & 5K, which marks its 13th annual running in 2024 along a route that starts and finishes at the city’s Freedom Park, not far from its airport.
Designed as a fundraiser for the local chapter of the Make-a-Wish Foundation, the race is described by organizers as “all flat and blazing fast,” with stretches through the city’s famous strawberry fields and with views of the nearby Conejo Mountains.
