The La Jolla Half Marathon is one of San Diego California’s most picturesque and beautiful point-to-point races. Starting at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, the course follows a scenic coastal route along the San Diego coast and reaches the challenging climb to the summit of Torrey Pines State Park. The race course then rolls atop Torrey Pines mesa, continues down through residential La Jolla Shores, and finishes at La Jolla Cove. And, for those interested in a shorter option, the 5K race course offers a mostly downhill course and features some of the most picturesque coastal views of the last 3.1 miles of the half marathon course. Enjoy ocean views at every turn during this 5K race. Imagine miles of sun-drenched coast, an inviting ocean, perfect weather, and thousands of inspired runners and you’ll understand why the La Jolla Shores 5K is one of the best 5K races San Diego has to offer. Get ready to soak up breath taking views while soaking in the Southern California sunshine and iconic coastline.
