Holly Jolly Marathon, half, 5k 10k

The Holly Jolly Marathon is a holiday-themed running festival held annually in Camarillo, California. Now in its 14th year, the 2026 edition on December 20 offers a full marathon, half marathon, 10K, and 5K on the mostly flat Camarillo bike path — a vehicle-free route that starts and finishes at Pleasant Valley Fields Park at the Village at the Park Sports Complex. The full marathon is a Boston Qualifier with USATF certification (#CA18033RS). Runners are encouraged to come in their best holiday costume, with awards for top costumes. Every finisher receives an impressive swag package: a custom finisher medal, premium sublimated tech shirt, premium hat with event logo, and a reusable tote bag — plus post-race street tacos.
