🌟 Ambassador Spotlight: Michelle! 🌟
➡️ Why Michelle Loves @MalibuMoves 🏃♀️🌊:
“I love that Malibu Moves focuses on progress, not pace. Focusing on your personal progress will always get you to your next step. I’m very excited to run the Malibu Moves half marathon for the first time. I love running new races and getting my community excited about running races together—especially my @doghausrunningclub & @runwithuspasadena Monday Fun Runners.”
➡️ Why You Should Join Michelle:
“Runners should join Malibu Moves to challenge themselves. You can learn so much about yourself while training and running a distance race. Let’s push our limits and celebrate our progress together!”
➡️ Tips:
1️⃣ “Go into a specialty running store like Run With Us to get fitted for and purchase proper running shoes for your gait.”
2️⃣ “Find a running club to join. I would not be here today if I did not find the Dog Haus Running Club. Everyone was so encouraging and inspiring. You can also talk with veteran runners who can share valuable information on what works for them in races.”
3️⃣ “Practice with nutrition. You need to eat and drink during the course of a distance race. There are so many options available. I recommend trying a few out during the early stages of training so that you can dial in what you want to do on race day.”
➡️ Overcoming Struggles:
“The thing most runners deal with is the mental aspect of running a distance race. I tell them it’s easiest to break down the distance into smaller manageable chunks and then celebrate when they hit those distances, ending with the big celebration when they cross the finish line.”
➡️ Achievements:
“I’ve achieved a lot in my 10 1/2 years of running. I’ve done 10 marathons and countless other distance races of 6k or more. I’ve only raced one 5k. I believe I’ve had many great achievements, but the thing I love most is doing all I can to inspire others to go out and challenge themselves. We are all capable of so much more than we can imagine.”

🌟 Ambassador Spotlight: Lena! 🌟
➡️ Why @lenarunsformedals Loves Malibu Moves 🏃♀️🌊:
“Hi everyone! I’m Lena, and I’m thrilled to be an ambassador for the inaugural @MalibuMoves ! I started my fitness journey 4 years ago at 42 and never imagined I’d become obsessed with running. Now, with 5 marathons and 17 half marathons under my belt, running is my peaceful place where I challenge myself. Malibu Moves’ focus on progress over perfection aligns perfectly with my journey!”
➡️ Tips & Overcoming Struggles:
“I ran my first half and full marathon without training (don’t do this!). Setting small, achievable goals keeps me motivated—whether it’s running all the hills or learning to use pacers. If this is your first 5K or half marathon, trust me, you’ll never regret showing up. Now is the best time to start working toward your goals. Finish your first race and let it lead you to greatness!”
➡️ Achievements:
“I’ve been running the rolling hills of Malibu for a couple of years and it’s my favorite way to end the half marathon season. In 2023, I ran my 13th half marathon here and hit my first sub-2-hour half marathon, despite a torn meniscus! This year, I’m excited to complete the 5K and half marathon (one virtually) and hope you’ll join me on this incredible adventure!”

🌟 Ambassador Spotlight: Krista! 🌟
➡️ Why Krista Loves @MalibuMoves 🏃♀️🌊:
“I am particularly drawn to Malibu Moves because of their inclusivity. I am so excited to participate in this inaugural event, the only race that actually takes place IN Malibu! It is such a gorgeous place, and I can’t wait to marvel at the views as I celebrate all of my training. I will be participating in the half marathon. Join me to challenge yourself and celebrate all your hard training!”
➡️ Tips & Overcoming Struggles:
“Stay consistent! Easier said than done, but finding a running community for accountability and fun helps a lot. It’s tough to motivate yourself for early morning or post-work runs, but with the right support and mindset, anything is possible. When I feel ‘blah,’ a hike or even just a walk gets me back in the groove.”
➡️ Achievements:
“I have gained so much confidence and found a running family I never knew could exist!”

🌟 Ambassador Spotlight: Elizabeth! 🌟
➡️ Why Elizabeth Loves @MalibuMoves 🏃♀️🌊:
“I love Malibu Moves because it focuses on movement, not competition. I’m excited to be part of a movement that encourages people to get outside and move. Plus, my son will be doing his second half marathon with me!”
➡️ Why You Should Join Elizabeth:
“I will be running the half marathon! Join me for a morning of fun and creating memories with smiles along the way.”
➡️ Tips & Overcoming Struggles:
“Our bodies can do much more than we believe. People are often shocked when I say I enjoy half marathons because I don’t look like a typical runner. This inspires others to think, ‘If Elizabeth can do it, I can do it!’ 💪 When I first started, I faced doubts and injuries, but I pushed through by joining a running club. Remember, think happy thoughts and keep moving.
All it takes is putting one foot in front of the other.”
➡️ Rewards & Achievements:
“I’ve completed over 200 half marathons since 2006 and aim to do one in all 50 states. Running has brought me amazing friendships, including Alberto Perusset, who always reminded me that ‘Life is a gift.’ He introduced me to friends I would have never met without races. These friendships make me so happy inside. ❤️”

🌟 Ambassador Spotlight: Oliver! 🌟
➡️ Why Oliver Loves @MalibuMoves 🏃♂️🌊:
“I look forward to running this course every year because it has always been a great day. I love being at the beach in time to watch the sunrise. The course is beautiful and challenging, so I always feel accomplished after the race, no matter what my finishing time is. Finally, don’t forget that at the end of the race, we get to rest and recover at the beach ☀️🌊🏝️”
➡️ Excitement for Malibu Moves:
“I will be running the Half Marathon and thinking about the end of the race always gets me motivated to run. There’s nothing like reaching the top of that last hill after mile 12 and seeing all of Zuma beach below.”
➡️ Why You Should Join Oliver:
“We all pay California state taxes; we should take advantage of opportunities to run in beautiful places!”
➡️ Tips & Overcoming Struggles:
”The struggle is in the mind. I was initially intimidated by the prospect of running 13 miles with hills, but participating in a race with a bunch of encouraging runners got me through it. My advice? Think happy thoughts and keep moving.”
