It then continues across the Torrey Pines mesa, goes through the La Jolla Shores residential area, and finishes at La Jolla Cove. The 10K course starts at the top of the mesa. It follows a coastal route that avoids the Torrey Pines hill, goes through La Jolla Shores, and finishes with a net-downhill section at La Jolla Cove. The 5K race offers a mostly downhill course.
