Sri Chinmoy 6-Hour Race - San Diego
This event is a six hour timed race held on a 5 mile loop around a lake in San Diego at 10710 Scripps Lake Blvd. Laps are chip timed and participants may complete as many 5 mile circuits as they wish. In the final 30 minutes of the race, runners who reach an aid station are credited for that additional mileage, though they must return to the Start/Finish staging area on foot.
The course is an asphalt loop that runs clockwise around the lake. It is mostly flat with a few gentle hills and a wide footpath; pedestrians and bicycles traveling in the opposite direction use a separate lane. Four aid stations support runners: one main station at the staging area offering hearty food and drinks and three smaller stations with drinks and simple food. Athletes can leave personal gear at the main staging area. There are multiple restrooms including four permanent restrooms near the lake entrance and portable toilets along the route. A medical doctor will be on site for non-emergency issues; emergencies will be handled via 911.
The event is sponsored by the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team and sanctioned by USATF. Entry is limited to 75 participants; entries close on Nov. 5 or when the field limit is reached. The main staging area is on the dam at the west end of the lake about one third of a mile from the lake entrance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
