The Experience
The Malibu Moves Half Marathon, held at Zuma Beach, offers a stunning route along the Pacific Coast Highway. With roughly 850 finishers hailing from 23 states and a growing field, this event pairs coastal beauty with a welcoming, community-driven spirit.
Runners encounter rolling hills that offer both challenge and reward, with sparkling ocean views at every turn. The course's inclusive energy — where walkers and speedsters alike are celebrated — is matched by standout organization and ample crowd support. The finish-line festival, complete with post-race goodies, adds to the celebratory atmosphere. Already a favorite for its charitable mission (100% of profits go to causes like fire relief), Malibu Moves is a destination race that lives up to the hype.
