We will be offering two great team contests this year!

Some fun ways to show your team spirit are: Create a Team Shirt in Honor/Memory of those you are running or walking for, Pick a Team Color or Theme to wear to show team unity, and/or Create a Team Banner to Honor/Remember those that you run/walk for. The possibilities are endless, and we welcome your creativity!

Parking Information:
We recommend that runners park in the Free City of Ventura parking lot on Santa Clara St between California St and Chestnut. You will then walk straight down California St towards the ocean. The Start/Finish location is on the Promenade between Aloha Steakhouse and Crowne Plaza.
There is also paid parking directly off Harbor Blvd. just East of Crowne Plaza as well as under the pier. If you eat at one of the Promenade restaurants (Aloha Steakhouse. C-Street Cafe, Eric Ericssons) after the race you can get parking validated for free. Otherwise they charge $2/hour or $8/day per vehicle at the time of exit.
