Belmont Park's Dipper Dash 5K
Belmont Park's Dipper Dash 5K is an oceanfront running event held in San Diego, California. The race course begins in the center of Belmont Park and extends along the Mission Beach Boardwalk, offering participants views of the beachside landscape.
The event features two distinct distances:
- 5K Run: A chip-timed course open to participants of all ages, though intended for those aged 10 and older.
- Kids Loop: A shorter course designed for children aged 10 and under, allowing them to run through the park's midway and surrounding areas.
Participants in both the 5K and the Kids Loop receive several amenities as part of their registration. These include an official race bib with a timing chip, a custom finisher medal, and a complimentary Ride & Play wristband. This wristband provides unlimited access to Belmont Park's rides and attractions for the entire day. Adults also receive a drink ticket redeemable for a cocktail, latte, or other beverage at select locations.
The event concludes with a wellness-focused after-party at Fit Social, featuring live DJ sets, cold plunges, and various vendors. The race supports The Animal Pad, a local nonprofit organization focused on dog rescue. Free parking is available in multiple lots surrounding the venue, and professional event photography is provided to all runners without additional fees.
