Pro tips
Racing it
- 01
Two Start Times
Full starts at 7:00 and half at 7:15, so plan your warmup and corral arrival around your distance; don't rely on the half start if you're running the full.
From the start time

Early Start Water Gap
If you take the 6 am early marathon start, water stations may not be fully set up until 6:30, so carry your own water for the first 30 minutes and know the course.

In Camarillo
Race-Day Traffic
Camarillo is car-oriented, so race morning traffic can build near Pleasant Valley Fields; carpool or arrive early and expect local detours around the bike path.
Spectator Spots
Spectators can watch from Pleasant Valley Fields and along the bike path, then walk into Old Town Camarillo for coffee and a break between laps.
Old Town Recovery
After the race, Old Town Camarillo's walkable core and nearby parks make an easy place to stretch out, eat, and let tired legs loosen; expect suburban calm rather than big-city bustle.
