Race Across California

November 09, 2008

Ventura, CA to Parker, AZ

On November 9, 2008, at approximately 1:00 a.m., Marvin Atwood will leave Surfers' Point Seaside Park at the Pacific Ocean in Ventura, CA in an attempt to set a new Ultramarathon Cycling Association world record for west to east crossing of California. This non-stop attempt will terminate at the Colorado River in Parker, AZ, a total of 323 miles. Marvin is making this record attempt as a community member of Team Semper Fi in support of the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund, a group dedicated to providing assistance to Marines who have returned from Iraq and Afghanistan and in providing travel and other assistance to their families.
