Sri Chinmoy San Diego 6-hour Race
This is a timed six hour event held at Lake Miramar (Miramar Reservoir) on a clockwise, paved loop. The certified course is a 5-mile asphalt loop with gentle rolling hills and permanent wooden markers every 1/4 mile. Athletes must remain on the asphalt course; going off the certified route leads to disqualification.
Each full loop is chip-timed with splits provided every 5 miles. Additional mileage in the final 30 minutes is credited manually if a participant reaches one of three remote aid stations located about 1 mile, 2.5 miles, and 3.5 miles from the start/finish area. The loop is shared with other park users; runners and walkers must keep to the right of the yellow center line while moving clockwise.
The event operates four aid stations: one large main station at the staging area offering water, an electrolyte drink, and a substantial buffet, plus three smaller stations offering water, electrolyte drink, and light snacks such as crackers, bananas, and a sweet item. Permanent restrooms and multiple portable toilets are available along the course; an additional portable restroom is planned for the start/finish staging area.
A gear area at the main staging area is available for personal supplies and can be accessed each lap. Medals, T-shirts, and certificates are provided for all participants; awards are given in Open (under 50), 50-59, and 60 and over age groups. The race is sanctioned by USA Track & Field and limits the field to 75 runners. Parking for participants is off-site but within easy walking distance. Participants aged 18 to 99 are eligible; those 17 and under require parental permission. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
