San Diego Holiday Half Marathon & 5K
The San Diego Holiday Half Marathon & 5K takes place in San Diego, California. The event features two primary distances:
- Half Marathon (USATF certified course CA13132RS)
- 5K
The 13.1-mile course begins on Penasquitos Drive near the location of the Hotel Karlan. The route proceeds southwest along Carmel Mountain Road, which includes an incline at the 1.5-mile mark. The majority of the race follows the 56 bike path, characterized by a rolling downhill trajectory. The course features a net elevation drop of 711 feet over the total distance.
The race concludes at Torrey Pines State Beach. Because of the net elevation loss, the course is often utilized by participants aiming to achieve personal records. For the 5K event, the start line is situated at the intersection of Clews Ranch Road and Carmel Country Road. This event occurs annually in December and typically reaches its registration capacity.
