Sri Chinmoy San Diego 6-hour Race
This timed endurance event takes place at Lake Miramar in San Diego on 8 November. Athletes run or walk a paved, chip-timed five-mile loop that follows the asphalt road around the lake. The loop has gentle rolling hills and permanent wooden markers at every quarter mile; splits are provided every five miles.
Each five-mile lap is recorded by chip timing. Additional mileage completed in the last 30 minutes is recorded manually if a participant reaches one of three remote aid stations located about one mile, 2.5 miles, and 3.5 miles from the start/finish. Participants may stop before the six hour limit and still have their completed distance recorded.
The course must be kept on the asphalt loop; the dirt trail at the lake edge is off-limits and unmeasured. The loop is shared with other park users and cyclists; a yellow center line divides the road and racers keep to the right while moving clockwise.
Four aid stations operate during the race: one main station at the staging area with water, Skratch electrolyte drink and a buffet of food items, plus three smaller stations offering water, Skratch and simple snacks. There are permanent restrooms near the main parking area and portable toilets along the course; an additional portable restroom is planned for the start/finish area in 2026. A secure gear area is available at the main staging area and can be accessed on every lap.
Awards, t-shirts, medals and certificates are provided to participants. The event is sanctioned by USA Track and Field and limits entries to 75 runners. Entry is open to adults, with parental permission required for younger participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
