Malibu, CA
The course runs along Zuma Beach, so you get open ocean views the whole way. The route stays on or near the sand and shore, which keeps it flat but gives it a texture that pavement races do not. Several distance options mean the morning draws everyone from young kids doing a short dash to people running the full half marathon distance.
