PMASD Carabao 5K
The PMASD Carabao 5K takes place on October 4, 2026 at J Street Marina in South Bay, San Diego, CA. The public course is 5 km (3.11 miles) and is described as flat; the detailed route is listed as coming soon.
The event is organized by the Philippine Medical Association of San Diego, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit of Filipino American physicians and advanced practice providers. The race promotes heart health and physical activity and directs funds to support individuals and communities in San Diego and in the Philippines, including disaster relief and other areas of severe need.
Organizers note that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death locally and globally, and that the Filipino community in the United States experiences heart disease at about twice the rate of the general American population. San Diego County is identified as having a large Filipino American population, and the event frames movement and prevention as tools to protect heart health.
Logistics include packet pickup on Saturday, October 3, 2026 at Roadrunner Sports, 2015 Birch Rd Suite #512, Chula Vista, CA 91915. Volunteers are engaged for tasks such as registration, course monitoring, water stations, first aid, and event logistics. Sponsorship and vendor opportunities are available with multiple tiers and specified benefits and price levels.
The event has official photography and videography and has received coverage from local news outlets. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
