The Mountains 2 Beach Marathon & Half Expo is where thousands of motivated, health-minded runners — along with their families and friends — gather before race day to pick up bibs, shop, sample products, and connect with brands they trust.
Set along the California coast, Mountains 2 Beach attracts runners from across the country who are serious about performance, recovery, lifestyle — and supporting businesses that help them feel and perform their best.
As a vendor, you’ll be front-and-center with a captive, energized audience that is actively browsing, asking questions, and ready to purchase.
