Sri Chinmoy 6-Hour Race - San Diego
The event is a timed 6-hour race held on a certified 5-mile asphalt loop around Miramar Reservoir (Scripps Lake Drive) in San Diego. Athletes run clockwise on the paved loop, which has gentle rolling hills, permanent wooden distance markers every 1/4 mile, and a yellow center line; participants must stay to the right of the line. An off-road dirt trail at the lake edge is off-limits and leaving the certified course may lead to disqualification.
Laps are chip-timed with splits reported every 5 miles. In the final 30 minutes, additional mileage is credited 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; that extra mileage is manually recorded. The course is shared with non race users such as walkers, runners, and bicyclists.
Four aid stations support competitors: one main station at the staging area offering water, Skratch electrolyte drink, and a buffet of food, plus three smaller stations with water, Skratch, and simple snacks. A secure gear area at the main staging area is accessible each lap. Permanent restrooms and portable toilets are available around the loop; an additional portable restroom is planned at the staging area.
The race is sanctioned by USATF, has a 75-runner limit, and provides T-shirts, medals, and certificates for all participants. Awards are given in Open, 50-59, and 60+ age groups. Parking for participants is off-site within walking distance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
