As part of the Malibu running events, the 5km race is designed to cater to a wide audience, from seasoned athletes looking for a quick and scenic run to families and first-time runners seeking an enjoyable and motivating fitness experience. The course takes participants along the same beautiful stretch of Malibu's coastline as the half marathon, offering breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, sandy beaches, and Malibu's natural landscapes. The relatively flat terrain makes it an ideal race for achieving fast times or for enjoying a leisurely jog or walk in the company of fellow runners and supportive spectators. The race finishes back at Zuma Beach, where a lively post-race celebration awaits all participants, complete with medals, refreshments, and a sense of community, embodying the spirit of Malibu's active and outdoor lifestyle.
