Malibu Moves Founder Feature – Erica Segel
From Inspiration to Impact: Erica Segel’s Journey with Malibu Moves
As featured in VoyageLA
When Erica Segel founded IPS Malibu Moves presented by UCLA Health, she wasn’t just launching a race—she was building a movement. Fueled by a passion for community, Malibu Moves is Malibu’s only running and walking event featuring a Half Marathon, 10K, 5K & Kids Run at Zuma Beach—and it's here to uplift, connect, and inspire.
In her recent feature with VoyageLA, Erica opens up about the story behind Malibu Moves, the challenges she overcame, and the deeply personal mission driving this initiative forward.
“I created Malibu Moves to be a celebration of community and resilience. It’s about creating a safe space and inviting everyone to move in whatever way serves them best.”
– Erica Segel
Since its launch in 2023, Malibu Moves has brought thousands together at Zuma Beach and along the iconic Pacific Coast Highway. With the second annual event approaching on October 25 & 26, participants can choose from a variety of distances—from the classic Half Marathon to the scenic 10K, the fun-filled 5K, and the family-friendly Kids Run. Every step supports fire relief and youth programs through the Malibu Education Foundation and the Community Relief Fund.
Malibu Moves isn’t just about miles. It’s about meaning. It’s where fitness meets impact, and personal achievement fuels community growth.
