2. The VIP Experience Is Unparalleled
If you’re looking for something beyond the standard race-day experience, Malibu Moves offers an incredible VIP Experience that you won’t want to pass up. Designed to cater to runners and spectators alike, our VIP Lounge sponsored by Ventura Rentals offers the ultimate comfort and care, ensuring that your race day is as enjoyable as possible.
Here’s a sneak peek into what awaits in the VIP Lounge:
Hydration Room: Drip IV and B12 Shots
After a long run—or even just to prepare for one—hydration and recovery are key. The Hydration Room is stepping in to offer Drip IV therapy and B12 shots exclusively to VIPs & Charity Movers. These services are designed to boost your energy, aid in recovery, and keep you feeling great whether you’re warming up for the run or recovering after crossing the finish line. It’s like having a wellness clinic right at the beach!
Scott's Malibu Market: Premium Catering
No VIP experience is complete without great food, and Scott’s Malibu Market is bringing it. Our lounge guests will enjoy a light breakfast and lunch, keeping you nourished and satisfied throughout the event. Scott's Malibu Market is known for its fresh and delicious food, made with local ingredients, which makes it the perfect caterer for this Malibu-centric event.
Heroic Performance: Pre- and Post-Race Treatments
Whether you’re warming up or cooling down, the professionals from Heroic Performance will be on-site in the VIP Lounge to offer pre- and post-race treatments. Their expert team specializes in recovery, injury prevention, and enhancing athletic performance, so you’ll be in great hands as you prepare to take on the race—or relax after a job well done.
Hyperice: Compression Booths
Recovery is key to any great race, and that’s where Hyperice comes in. VIPs will have access to compression booths, which aid in muscle recovery and help reduce soreness. This advanced recovery technology is used by professional athletes, and now it’s available to you as part of the VIP experience at Malibu Moves.
Whether you're competing in the 5K, Half Marathon, or simply attending to cheer on a loved one, the VIP Lounge offers a luxurious escape where you can relax, recharge, and enjoy premium services. If you’re looking for an unforgettable race day, the VIP package is your ticket to an elevated experience.
3. The Best Post-Race Beach Party
Racing at Malibu Moves is more than just crossing the finish line—it’s about the celebration that follows! We’re bringing the party to Zuma Beach, with an incredible post-race festival featuring live music, local vendors, and a charity beer garden sponsored by Malibu Brewing Company.
Malibu Brewing Company Charity Beer Garden
What better way to reward yourself after a race than with a refreshing, locally brewed beer? The Malibu Brewing Company Charity Beer Garden will be serving up cold brews for a good cause. Proceeds from the beer garden will support the Malibu Education Foundation, helping to enhance educational programs for over 1,000 students in Malibu’s public schools. Whether you’re running, volunteering, or cheering from the sidelines, the beer garden is a fantastic way to end the day while supporting a great cause.
