Okay... this race? SO good…read more If you're looking for a marathon that's fast, beautiful, and actually fun to run, Mountains to Beach is it. Just so youknow it's not a total free ride (and honestly, that's what makes it even better). You start in Ojai running through orange groves at sunrise, and it already feels like a vibe. Cool air, quiet roads, and just enough excitement to get you going without feeling chaotic. Then you head out into stretches with river views, farmland, cows, and horses -- it's peaceful in the best way and makes the miles go by so much easier. I was in awe. The course had a lot of support from the community with people out in their lawn chairs cheering us on. Real runner talk: The first ~3 miles are a steady uphill (don't get too excited too early) The middle miles has rollers that keep you working. There are some flat sections where it's just you and your thoughts And yes... a little hill toward the end just to test you. I even forgot my name. So yeah, it's downhill overall. But you still have to run smart to earn it. Why I loved it: The scenery is chef's kiss the whole way It never feels boring. The course support keeps you engaged. Some people were stopped on the side of the freeway supporting friends and family. At first I thought something had happened then I saw the signs and was like oh wow!! Perfect for runners who know how to pace and stay patient. That finish line feeling hits different when you know you executed it right. Crossing the finish in 3:25 with a BQ and a solid 20 min buffer made it even sweeter. Would I run it again? 100% yes. Might not be able to next year as I will probably be in Boston. This one is officially a favorite

There was very little good about this race. If I had to say one good thing, I would say that the…read morevolunteers at most of the race stations were good. That is where the good ended. The expo is complete trash. The expo is in some dirty fairgrounds that charge $10 for parking. There is nothing at the expo besides a fortune teller and some other unrelated stuff you can buy. The Race Director was a major fail for this event. 6 weeks before they event, they pushed it back 1 week. Hotels, flights, gas, everything was more expensive for the week delay. The race started 20 minutes late in the hot sun, which also led to hotter time when running. Standing in a packed group for those 20 minutes also gave me COVID 3 days later. The course was poorly marked and due to that error, everyone ran an extra .5 miles. Many missed their BQ. Post race food was minimal and everyone was just pissed because they missed their BQ. I was far from a celebratory mood and just wanted to go home. No pictures, no celebration. Just anger and disappointment. People dedicate months / years for training, and M2B was a complete failure that took goals away. if you are looking for a PR or BQ, I suggest doing a different race until this one has a track record of getting their crap together. Shame on you M2B.

Both the 5 and 10 K head north. The 10k course has a few hills and also nice ocean views. There was water stops at 1 and 3 miles I think. Water, Gatorade and gels were available. The post race was fairly small and not too many vendors. Oranges, bananas, and pretzels available for runners. There were massage tables which are free but tips accepted please. There were a lot of giveaways here. Duffle bags, towels, water bottles, two back packs that were donated by the US Air Force and several bicycles! I was not a lucky winner but a lot of the kids got some cool stuff and that was nice to see. Being that this was a Father's Day run there were dads and kids teams. Also grandparents and grandchildren! There was a kids run too. Can't wait for my lil guy to be old enough to participate in a kids run. I recommend this run if you're new to running or even if you're not. It's a great way to spend with your child or teen or introduce running to a child.

This is a great duathlon (run/bike/run) race program with a series of three races. I've been doing…read moretriathlons and duathlons in So Cal for about 5 years, but did the Camarillo Duathlon for the first time yesterday. I have to commend the race organizer -- Elite Sports Ventura County -- on a very well organized and well supported event. This is one of the smaller duathlons I've done in terms of number of participants, but it felt big time. Good volunteer support, well-marked course with sheriffs controlling traffic at intersections, technical t-shirts, finishers medals, free massages, nice swag, etc. I did the race as an early season training exercise to assess my race fitness. Both the run and bike courses are very flat and offered a good test of my straight speed without climbs and fast descents. I recommend this series highly whether you are new to the sport or have more experience want a fun challenge. I'll be back in April for the next race!

Had a fantastic time if that's possible doing something very tough and challenging as is the case…read moreof a Duathalon. It was my first after doing 6 full marathons and other runs. It was my first cycling competition. I haven't been cycling for long and have much to learn. Did the Olympian version, sprint was half version. Olympian was 2 loops of each leg. Run 3miles, 19.5 cycle, run 3miles. Run was flat and very doable if you don't mind loops. Ride was mostly flat but had it's challenges. A couple of small inclines, quiet and peaceful around the fields. Wind was tough at times. Event was very well organized. Volunteers were great, road police support at intersections were helpful. Had I gotten in trouble I would have hated walking back, no bike support for unexpected things like flat tires. Goody bag was ok for $42 Olympian version thru Living Social - Clif bar, technical tshirt, body glide, and reusable bag. Why not 5 's? Unexpected large turn out meant insufficient medals for many especially slower Olympic participants that came in after Sprint participants. They claim medals will b mailed in 4-6 weeks. Would I do it again and recommend? Absolutely! Great first Duathalon experience and many very experienced too but expect a challenge and train!

If you're familiar with the area you know this course offers some nice mountain side views and rolling hills that made for a challenging run. We passed Paramount Ranch and Malibu lake on this nice course. This race was well organized. We received sufficient email reminders and notices. Packet pick was day before and same day pick up was available too. Small race, only a few hundred people. We were given skinny girl pasta samples after the race. Also bananas, oranges, granola bars and water bottles. I would do this race again. A couple disappointments are the cotton shirt I could not run in and plastic finishers medal. Low entry fee, $35 I believe. The race options were a 10k or a 10 miler. Lots of officers working the course to ensure the safety of the runners. 4 water stops along the course.

Fairly hilly course and you do share the road with cars. Some cars cheered you on...other cars honked with impatience as you blocked their path. Rude! Anyways, overall, this was a small well-run race. After the finish, buses take you to Reyes Adobe Park for a free pancake breakfast and small expo. Due to a really bad accident on the 101, took us quite a while to get back to Reyes Adobe Park and they ran out of bacon. Bagels were free too! If schedules don't conflict, I would run this race again.

This was a smaller race and a shame due to this race benefiting Habitat for Humanity. Low registration fee to sign up compared to other races. Half marathon and 5k options. There was no pre race day packet pickup. Same day and that was convenient. Starting point and check in was at the Ventura Unified School District. The course is beautiful, calming and rustic. Very nice. Loved it. Well put together race and at the finish line Aloha Steak House served some bomb burritos. Be sure to catch this one next year my running friends.

The views were breathtaking and Jason allowed us to stop and take pictures at various parts of the canyon. Jason is very knowledgeable about the area and I really enjoyed hearing fun facts about the different spots that we passed up during the tour. Jazmine was also so nice and such a great help with all of the gear. This tour is perfect for tourists who are new to California or even residents who just want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. I look forward to scheduling my next life rush adventure!

The electric assist mountain bikes were top of the line, easy to use, and gave you more freedom than we would have had on our own. The trail he chose was so beautiful with vast ocean and valley views. We could see the trail we'd take in the distance and feel the adrenaline knowing how fun to was going to be getting there. The 5-7pm tour gives you an unbelievable sunset view. It was magical. Whether you're taking someone on a date, wanting to do something fun with friends, a family outing, or a corporate bonding activity, I highly, highly recommend LifeRush Adventures! We'll never forget our trip and want to thank Jason for capturing so much of it as pictures and video for us!

I'm very disappointed with this company. I first contacted them about striping pickleball and…read morebadminton court lines on my brand-new epoxy floor. Their representative, Sean, came out to see the space and told me directly that it was a simple, one-day job with an estimated cost of around $1,250. The very next day, he texts me saying: "For the pickleball and badminton lines will be $3,500. My costing sheet is adding money since it's indoors with long drying times." Nothing changed. No extra work. No issues with the floor. No adjustments in scope. Just a massive and completely unjustified price hike. His explanation was that since the project was indoors, their crew would need to come back twice--yet this makes no sense for a well-ventilated industrial space where paint dries just as well as outside. It was a weak excuse for more than doubling the original estimate. For simple line painting, it doesn't get any easier than a smooth epoxy floor. This kind of pricing is far outside industry standards. I've since spoken to multiple reputable contractors who quoted between $700 and $1,600 for the exact same job. I also asked Sean for a breakdown of the $3,500, because the pricing simply didn't add up. He couldn't provide one. If the materials cost maybe $200 total--paint, tape, rollers, etc.--then the remaining $3,300 is labor. Two people working two full days would mean over $100/hour per person. More realistically, the job is closer to 16 total labor hours, which puts their pricing at around $200/hour. For line painting. On a brand-new floor. It's absurd. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this company. There's no doubt in my mind that this pricing was an attempt to take advantage of a customer. Daylight robbery in full view. If you value honesty, consistency, or basic fairness, avoid this company. I would never recommend them to anyone.

I'll be honest, knowing this is put on by a great charity, my rating is probably a star or two…read morehigher than it should be. The volunteers are friendly, appreciate different medals for the 5k/10k and think it's fun to run through Magic Mountain but really found more things that I didn't like. For what they are charging, we should get more than a cotton race shirt. The course is marked with chalk arrows and not all are clear. Orange cones at the turn arounds would be helpful. It's even worse when you start running one way and then the volunteer turns around, telling you you're going the wrong way. The finish was odd as we finished and that was it. No water tables, snacks or anything. If you expected me to walk back to the picnic area for this have a sign, or volunteer, indicating that is what we're supposed to do. As this was the 3rd time it was put on, maybe they are still finding their legs and I can give them the benefit things will improve. If there is a great deal I'll be back next year. Otherwise I'll just donate and go run a better race somewhere else.
