Sri Chinmoy San Diego 6-hour Race
The event is a 6-hour timed running and walking race held at Lake Miramar (Miramar Reservoir) in San Diego. Participants circulate a paved 5-mile loop that follows the asphalt road around the lake and includes gentle rolling hills and several lake "fingers" for varied scenery.
Each 5-mile loop is chip-timed and splits are provided every loop. Permanent wooden distance markers appear every quarter mile. In the final 30 minutes, extra mileage is credited manually if a participant reaches one of three remote aid stations located approximately 1.0, 2.5, and 3.5 miles from the start/finish area.
The course is shared with other park users and athletes must stay on the certified asphalt loop. There are four aid stations: one main station at the staging area offering water, electrolyte drink and a buffet of foods, plus three smaller stations with water, electrolyte drink and simple snacks. Portable toilets are placed along the loop and four permanent restrooms are near the main parking area; an additional portable restroom is planned for the start/finish staging area.
A secure gear area is available at the main staging area and will be accessible each lap. Medals and certificates are given to all participants and awards are presented in Open, 50-59, and 60+ categories. The event is sanctioned by USA Track & Field and has a 75-runner limit. Parking for participants is off-site but within walking distance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
