Event Overview
The San Diego Holiday Half Marathon & 5K takes place in San Diego, California. This winter running event features two distinct distances:
- Half Marathon (13.1 miles)
- 5K
The Half Marathon course starts on Penasquitos Drive in front of the Hotel Karlan. The route travels southwest along Carmel Mountain Road, which includes an incline at approximately mile 1.5. Following this section, the course transitions onto the 56 bike path. The run concludes at Torrey Pines State Beach.
The route is characterized by a net elevation drop of 711 feet. Much of the course follows a rolling downhill trajectory along the bike path, which may assist participants in achieving faster times. The event is a recurring winter race that has reached full capacity in previous years.
Registration is open to the public with pricing that increases as the event date approaches. Participants can also contribute to a fundraising goal associated with the race. The event provides timing results and professional photography for participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
