2026 Strawberry Fields 5K & 2K

The 2025 Strawberry Fields 5K & 2K celebrates Oxnard's rich agricultural heritage at Oxnard High School, located in the heart of California's strawberry farming region. The race offers both 5K (9:00 AM start) and 2K (10:00 AM start) distances to accommodate runners of all levels, with a total participant cap of 300 runners. The course utilizes the high school campus at 3400 W Gonzales Rd, featuring relatively flat terrain typical of coastal California with minimal elevation changes (approximately 52 feet above sea level). All finishers receive medals, T-shirts while supplies last, and fresh strawberries - a perfect tribute to the area's agricultural bounty. The event connects to Oxnard's famous strawberry farming tradition, as the region is home to the California Strawberry Festival that has celebrated local agriculture for over 40 years.
