Stronger Together: Malibu Moves Commits to Community Support

We’re honored to share that Malibu Moves has been featured in The Malibu Times, highlighting our commitment to supporting the community in the wake of devastating wildfires.

In 2025, 100% of net proceeds from the IPS Malibu Moves 5K, 10K, Half Marathon & Kids Run will go directly toward relief and rebuilding efforts. This initiative reflects our mission to go beyond just running or walking—it’s about coming together to make a real difference.

A Race for Resilience & Recovery

The recent wildfires have displaced families, shuttered businesses, and crippled essential infrastructure. Malibu Moves is stepping up to help by setting a fundraising goal of $100,000 to provide both immediate relief and long-term rebuilding support for those affected.

"It’s moments like these when we must unite—not just as individuals, but as a collective community," said Erica Segel, founder and race director of Malibu Moves. "This year’s event is about more than running or walking; it’s about showing our neighbors that we stand with them in their time of need."

The IPS Malibu Moves event, presented by UCLA Health, will take place on October 25-26, 2025, giving participants the chance to not only experience a stunning race course along the Malibu coastline but also to contribute to a cause that directly supports their community.
