Ventura County Fair 5K Super Hero Costume Run/Walk and Downhill 1 Mile Run
The Ventura County Fair invites runners and walkers to participate in the annual Ventura County Fair 5K Super Hero Costume Run/Walk and Downhill 1 Mile Run. Runners, joggers and walkers of all abilities are encouraged to participate in this fundraiser that benefits the Ventura County Fair Foundation and the Kensington Foundation.
Participants are encouraged to dress in Super Hero costumes, and awards will be given to the ten best dressed runners. Gather a group of friends or the whole family and walk or run together. There is even a 1-mile downhill race- perfect for either those who prefer to run quick, short distances or those who aren’t ready to run a 5K.
Check-in for both races will be at Mission Park. The 5K starts at Mission Park while the 1-Mile starts 1-mile up Main Street across from Memorial (Cemetery) Park. Runners will need to get to the start on their own (a nice warm-up jog.)
