    “I found Malibu Moves through my run club and was so happy to pursue the race. The course is a stunning view of the California coastline on PCH with rolling hills that create challenges and reprieve just when you need it. It was a fast and fun course which led to my personal PR, and I plan to do exactly that again this year!”

    “I ran the inaugural Malibu Moves 5K last year and had the most amazing time. I pushed myself to the limit and unlocked a new 5K PR on this course. What a fun, flat, fast, and beautiful 5K. The race vibes were unreal and I can’t wait to come back in 2025! ”

    "This was a very well-organized race with lots of volunteers. The course was out-and-back and quite hilly, but the hills were well graded and easy to run. There were both runners and walkers on the course. Starting and stopping at Zuma Beach was really nice – it’s a beautiful beach."
