One Month to the Malibu International Marathon 2010

Oct. 17, 2010 - PRLog -- If you have not already registered for the Malibu International Full or Half Marathon, it is your lucky day! The race is on November 14th, 2010 in Malibu, California â““ and Registration is still open. We are expecting to reach our maximum capacity before event weekend so don't delay. Known as the "Run to Paradise," the race offers a beautiful course set between mountain cliffs and views of the Pacific Ocean.

Beyond the scenic beauty, the Malibu International Marathon is proud to host runners from around the globe to provide an authentic destination marathon. Whether 13.1 or 26.2 miles is your goal, athletes are invited to come spend the week in Malibu, California and enjoy a full schedule of events as part of an unforgettable adventure. "So far we have registered runners from Paris, Casablanca, Tokyo, and more..." says one of the race directors. That means there are no excuses to anyone stateside for missing this race!

At 7:00 am on race day, the marathoners will be bused to the start and begin their 26.2 mile journey at the Camarillo Airport. Pacing is the name of the game as runners set off running on a slight downhill for 10 miles through the Ventura county farmlands set up against the majestic Santa Monica Mountains. After passing the Navy base at mile 10, runners approach the halfway point by way of the "keyway to the coast," a rock passageway to the Pacific. The remainder of the course, after picking up with the half marathon start, flows south along the legendary Pacific Coast Highway with breathtaking views of the ocean. A couple rolling hills challenge runners before an epic finish at the famous Zuma Beach, where athletes are welcome to run straight into the refreshing waves of the Pacific.  Race finishers will be offered complementary refreshment and beach towels to enjoy the finish line expo and attractions while resting, feet in the ocean.

Event directors and sponsors are striving to make this an environmentally friendly race. Sponsors for this marathon include ZICO Pure Coconut Water, Event Catalyst, The Sound 100.3, KPCC Radio, and Lava Gel.

Proceeds of this running event will be going to charities including Christopher's Haven, Malibu Green Machine, the Malibu Boys & Girls Club and other local non-profits of California.

Registration is available online at www.malibumarathon.com. Current registration prices for the event are $80 for the half marathon and $135 for the marathon. Malibu International Marathon is a Boston Qualifier.
