Meet Michelle Sandoval, one of our 2026 Malibu Moves Ambassadors.

After a health scare left her temporarily unable to walk, Michelle was diagnosed with POTS and started a daily running streak to reclaim her body. She's a dancer, hiker, Zumba instructor, educator, and founder of Active CV.

"Being your authentic, unfinished self is the ultimate permission slip for someone else to try." She keeps her Strava public and her times realistic on purpose.

Michelle is running the Half Marathon at Zuma Beach this October.

Meet Mandy, one of our 2026 Malibu Moves Ambassadors.

Mandy runs with Crohn's disease. Some days she can run a marathon. Some days she can only walk. She shows up either way. At the London Marathon, she battled 80-degree heat and still finished with her sister beside her.

"Even when it sucks, you can still finish."

She's on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, but her real claim to fame is baking cookies that disappear faster than she can run a marathon. Her race day rule:

"Don't forget to smile."

Meet Ariana Laurenz Valera, one of our 2026 Malibu Moves Ambassadors.

After two scoliosis surgeries, Ariana was told she'd lose mobility and flexibility. She started running instead.

"Every run is a reminder of how far I've come. It's about resilience, growth, and pushing past what I thought were permanent limitations."

She recently pushed through cramping and a mental block during a marathon to hit a PR. She's pursuing her doctorate in occupational therapy at USC.

Ariana is running the 10K at Zuma Beach.

We're proud to partner with a company that leads with the same values.

International Protective Service, Inc. is our 2026 Title Sponsor, and having them alongside us this October at Zuma Beach means more than a logo on a bib. It means shared purpose on a course that brings 3,000 people together.

October 24 & 25, 2026. Malibu, CA.

Meet Giovanni, one of our 2026 Malibu Moves Ambassadors.

Giovanni grew up battling acute asthma. Running strengthened his lungs and taught him to get comfortable with the uncomfortable. What started as a health journey turned into marathons, ultras, trail runs, and backpacking to the highest peaks.

As a nurse, he promotes active living every day. After knee surgery in March 2025, he was back on his feet by July. His message: "

ANYTHING is possible with patience and commitment."

Giovanni is running the Half Marathon at Zuma Beach this October.

Meet Jennifer, one of our 2026 Malibu Moves Ambassadors.

In January 2025, Jennifer decided to take her life back. A college runner who'd stepped away, she returned to running to feel confident and energized again. Now she moves to inspire other parents, especially Latinas and underrepresented groups, that movement and achieving your dreams can be a reality.

Her race day mantra:

"Race day is my runway."

How young should a kid be to start running?

As young as possible.

Movement is one of the most powerful things a child can learn. Before organized sports, before PE class, before anyone tells them what fitness is supposed to look like, a kid who runs learns something fundamental: my body can do hard things, and it feels good on the other side.

That lesson doesn't expire. A child who connects movement with joy carries that into adolescence, into adulthood, into every season of life where they need something to steady them. It becomes a foundation, not a chore. The adults who move through hard things, literally and figuratively, are often the ones who started early.

The 1K Kids Run and 1-Mile Zuma Dash at Malibu Moves aren't about competition. They're about giving a kid the experience of a start line, a finish line, and the roar of a crowd that's there just for them. Some kids will sprint. Some will walk. All of them will remember it.

October 24 at Zuma Beach. Bring them young. Let them run.
