Our mission
Malibu Moves is more than a race—it’s a movement. We create inclusive and uplifting running and walking events that celebrate physical activity, build community, and spark lasting impact. Set against the stunning backdrop of Malibu’s coastline, our events welcome all paces and all people, with 100% of profits donated to support local schools and fire recovery efforts.
We believe that every step forward, no matter the speed, is worth celebrating.
Whether you're lacing up for your first 5K, returning to the start line, or cheering on a loved one, you're part of something bigger here.
Malibu Moves is your race. Your cause. Your community.
At Malibu Moves, our values guide everything we do:
-
Movement
We celebrate every form of movement—walking, jogging, running, and everything in between.
-
Community
We create a welcoming space where people from all backgrounds can connect, support one another, and move forward together.
-
Wellness
We promote physical and mental well-being through events that nourish body, mind, and spirit.
-
Impact
We give back. Every registration, donation, and step supports Malibu schools and fire recovery efforts through our partnership with the Malibu Education Foundation and the Malibu Community Relief Fund.
Meet our founder
Malibu Moves was founded in 2023 by Erica Segel, a longtime race director and community builder who saw an opportunity to reimagine what a race could be.
After years of leading Run Malibu, Erica stepped away to start something new—something more inclusive, more intentional, and more connected to the community she calls home.
Through Malibu Moves, Erica has brought together thousands of people to experience joy, resilience, and transformation through movement. Her passion for making wellness accessible and meaningful has inspired a new kind of race—one that values impact over pace, and connection over competition.
