Malibu Moves 2025: Moving Forward, Together!
This October 25–26, Zuma Beach becomes more than just a favorite destination for locals and visitors—it becomes a place of healing, connection, and celebration.
The second annual IPS Malibu Moves Presented By UCLA Health returns with new race distances, a deeper community purpose, and a bold commitment: to welcome every body, every pace, and every story.
Why We Run (and Walk)
Malibu Moves was born from the belief that movement belongs to everyone—no matter your pace, experience, or background. Our event is intentionally designed for walkers, joggers, first-timers, seasoned athletes, and anyone in between.
Set entirely along the iconic Pacific Coast Highway, with uninterrupted ocean views, towering bluffs, and the sound of the surf beside you, this is California running at its most stunning. Whether you’re pushing for a personal record or soaking in the moment with friends and family, every step is part of something bigger.
Our Mission in 2025
This year, Malibu Moves has a renewed sense of purpose. In the wake of the devastating January Palisades Fire—which destroyed thousands of acres and displaced families—100% of our event profits will be donated to local public schools and community relief efforts.
We’ve seen how movement can rebuild lives. Now, we’re inviting you to be part of that transformation.
New for 2025: More Distances, More Ways to Move
10K – New for this year, the 10K is a perfect out-and-back challenge for those ready to level up.
1-Mile Zuma Dash – Held Saturday and open to all ages and paces, this fun loop is especially welcoming to adaptive athletes, families, and anyone new to racing.
Coastal Quest Challenge – Complete any Saturday event and any Sunday distance to earn three medals, two shirts, and Coastal Quest bragging rights.
Every distance offers the same unmatched scenery, the same celebratory finish line, and the same warm welcome.
A Celebration of Community
From the start line to the beer garden, Malibu Moves is about connection and belonging. Here’s what to expect:
Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K (Sunday) – Breathtaking routes along the coast. Inclusive and walker-friendly.
1-Mile Zuma Dash and 1K Kids’ Run (Saturday) – Lighthearted, accessible, and full of community cheer.
Post-Race Festival – Beer garden, music, wellness activations, local vendors, and a true coastal celebration.
Iconic Swag – From stylish and purpose-driven shirts to celebratory finisher medals, the Malibu Moves swag is not to be missed.

This Is Your Movement
Malibu Moves is for early risers, late bloomers, cautious first-timers, and comeback stories. It’s for scenic seekers and purpose-driven people. It’s for those who move for wellness, for joy, for remembrance, or simply to see what’s possible.
Walk it. Run it. Do it your way.
And while you’re at it, help rebuild Malibu.
