La Jolla Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K
The event comprises three road races along the San Diego coast, finishing at La Jolla Cove. The courses highlight coastal scenery and include sections near Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve and La Jolla Shores. The half marathon is a point to point course that starts near the Del Mar Fairgrounds and finishes at La Jolla Cove. Runners on the half marathon encounter ocean views and uphill sections around the Torrey Pines area.
The 10K begins where the half marathon climbing ends and follows coastal miles that avoid the Torrey Pines climb. The 5K covers the final 3.1 miles of the half marathon route and is described as mostly downhill with views of the ocean and sea breeze.
Distances:
- Half Marathon: 13.1 Miles
- 10K: 6.2 Miles
- 5K: 3.1 Miles
