Shoreline Marathon
Ventura, United States of America · Monday 12 July 2027
RoadFull Marathon
The Shoreline Marathon in Ventura takes place in July, which means you'll be running in genuine heat on a coastal road course that stays mercifully flat with only gentle rolling sections to break up the rhythm. The elevation profile barely moves, hovering between 2 and 8 meters above sea level, so there's no relief from climbing but also no major descents to hammer your quads. Pack extra fluids and electrolytes, plan your pacing conservatively for the heat, and use this as a fitness test rather than a time goal unless you're an experienced summer racer. The course should suit runners who want a straightforward effort without technical terrain or surprising elevation changes, though the July heat in Southern California will be the real story of your race day.
