Overview

The Pineapple Paradise Run Half Marathon is a vibrant coastal race held annually at Venice Beach, California. Scheduled for June 21, 2025, this event offers runners a unique opportunity to experience the iconic Southern California coastline while participating in a well-organized race.

Organized by Race Ready Athletics in collaboration with Aztlan Athletics, the event includes multiple race distances—Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K—catering to a wide range of participants. The course features a large loop through the Venice Boardwalk, offering breathtaking ocean views, palm-lined paths, and the chance to run across the waves on the Venice Beach Pier.

Participants can look forward to a festive atmosphere with live DJ music at the finish line, free race day photos, and finisher medals for all. Additionally, flowers are given to all female participants, adding a special touch to the event. The race is stroller and walker-friendly, making it accessible to runners of all levels.

With its combination of scenic beauty, community spirit, and well-executed race logistics, the Pineapple Paradise Run Half Marathon offers an exceptional racing experience for both local and visiting runners.

Course Description

Our courses are open-pathway routes — meaning they’re held on pedestrian-friendly trails like beach paths, park loops, and river trails. They’re car-free, safe, and full of good energy. Whether you’re racing for a PR or strolling in costume, you’ll be on a scenic route with no traffic to worry about.
👟 Because these are shared public spaces, you may pass by other walkers, joggers, or casual strollers who didn’t sign up — but that’s part of the CaliFlow charm. Just stay aware and respectful of those around you.
🎧 Pro tip: Save the Metallica for your post-race drive. Please keep the volume low enough to hear voices and instructions around you.
