Join our Virtual Half Marathon, 10K or 5K and embrace the essence of Malibu from anywhere, at your own pace. Remember to log your results between October 25-27, 2025. Then, sit back and wait for your medal and shirt to arrive in the mail as a token of your achievement. Please note, packets are shipped within the U.S. and U.S. Territories only, two weeks after results submission.

All half marathon participants must be at least 12 years old on the day of the race. There are no exceptions to this.

Parents are welcome to run alongside their children, making it a great family-friendly event. The course is designed with safety in mind, with clearly marked routes lined with cones and friendly volunteers along the way to guide and encourage the children. It’s the perfect opportunity for kids to enjoy a safe, supportive, and memorable running experience.

In alignment with the Road Runners Club of America's guidelines, Malibu Moves advises against the use of strollers during races. However, in our commitment to inclusivity, we do not explicitly prohibit the responsible use of strollers. To ensure the safety of all participants, those who choose to run or walk with strollers must adhere to the following rules:

1. Approved Strollers:
   Only 3-wheel strollers designed specifically for jogging or running are permitted during races.

2. Starting Position:
   All participants with strollers must start at the back of the pack.

3. Yielding to Runners:
   Stroller operators must yield the right of way to runners and refrain from weaving through groups of runners. Yielding includes providing a clear path for runners, particularly by avoiding cutting in on tangents or turns.

4. Keep Right, Pass Safely:
   Stroller operators must stay to the right side of the course, except when passing. Passing must be done safely, with a verbal announcement (e.g., "passing on the left").

5. Maintain Safe Distance:
   Stroller operators must keep a safe distance from other runners at all times.

6. Control of Stroller:
   Strollers must be operated with both hands on the handlebar at all times. Running or walking hands-free is not allowed.

7. Stroller Occupants' Safety:
   All occupants in the stroller must be securely strapped in. It is recommended that stroller occupants wear protective headgear, such as helmets.

8. Interaction with Others:
   Stroller operators must ensure that occupants do not reach out to other runners, spectators, volunteers, or objects along the race course.

9. Course-Specific Considerations:
   The out-and-back nature of certain courses and narrow passages can create additional challenges and safety concerns for stroller use. Stroller operators should exercise extra caution in these areas.

Failure to adhere to these rules may jeopardize the safety of other participants and could result in sanctions in accordance with the Malibu Moves Code of Conduct. Sanctions may include prohibiting individuals from using strollers in future events.

Remember, "Start slowly and taper off!"
