  • All participants are required to collect their bib and race packet (t-shirt and tote bad) during the Expo, unless they've chosen the bib shipment add-on.

    There is no same-day bib pick-up, no exceptions sorry.

    Additionally at the Expo, you'll find merchandise for sale, demonstrations, and information from various sponsors and vendors. It’s also a chance to get aquatinted with the start line location and parking. What’s not to love?

    The event is open to the public, so bring your friends and family—there's something for everyone!

  • If you can't make it to the Expo, you have two options:

    Bib Mailing Option: For a $25 non-refundable fee, you can have your bib and timing chip (attached to your bib) mailed to your doorstep. This fee covers only the bib and timing tag. You can collect your race packet (t-shirt and tote bag) on race day at a reserved area, indicated by signage.

    Delegate: You can send someone to pick up your race packet on your behalf. Please provide them with a copy of your driver's license (a digital picture is acceptable) and your confirmation bib number email to expedite the pick-up process. Confirmation emails are sent the week of the race.

  • All half marathon participants must be at least 12 years old on the day of the race. There are no exceptions to this.

  • Gear Check is conveniently located near the start/finish line, at the back of the Expo, and will remain in the same location for the duration of the race.

    In keeping with Malibu's commitment to the environment and the city's ban on single-use plastic, we won't be providing plastic bags for Gear Check. Please use the tote bag from your race packet or bring your own. Simply attach the gear check tag from your race bib to your bag with the cable ties provided, or use one of our tags and write your bib number on it.

    Gear Check opens at 5:00am for bag drop-off and closes at 12:00pm for pickup. Please avoid checking valuables, as gear is checked at your own risk. The race is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged items.
