• HOURS: 7:30AM – 12:30PM

• LOCATION: Oxnard, CA

Event Overview

Santa to the Sea is a non-profit event borne out of a desire to give back to the com­mu­nity. What started in 2003 as a toy drive to cel­e­brate the relo­ca­tion of the world’s largest Santa Claus from Car­pen­te­ria to Oxnard has now grown into a robust run­ning event, toy drive, and com­mu­nity fundraiser.

Now enter­ing its 6th year, Santa to the Sea includes a sanc­tioned half marathon and a 2-person half marathon relay, plus 5K and 1K Kids fun runs.

Com­mu­nity Impact

The Santa to the Sea Schol­ar­ship Fund part­ners with the Oxnard Col­lege Foun­da­tion to award $500 schol­ar­ships to local high school stu­dents and adults con­tin­u­ing their edu­ca­tion at Oxnard Col­lege. Funded by allo­cat­ing $5 of every race entry to the pro­gram, Santa to the Sea awarded more than 50 schol­ar­ships in 2012. The Santa to the Sea Toy Drive col­lects more than 2,000 items for needy chil­dren in the area, with dis­tri­b­u­tion at Santa Claus Park on the Sat­ur­day before Christ­mas. Addi­tional fundrais­ing flows from the event’s Char­ity Chal­lenge, where run­ners raise money for local char­i­ties of their choice.
