California’s most picturesque and beautiful point-to-point races

La Jolla Half Marathon 10K, & 5K

The La Jolla Half Marathon is one of San Diego California’s most picturesque and beautiful point-to-point running races. Starting at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, the course follows a scenic coastal route along the San Diego coast and reaches the challenging climb to the summit of Torrey Pines State Park. The race course then rolls atop Torrey Pines mesa, continues down through residential La Jolla Shores, and finishes at La Jolla Cove. We also offer a 10K for anyone looking to skip the hill. Starting at the top of the mesa, our San Diego 10K follows a fast, coastal route that bypasses the Torrey Pines climb. And, for those interested in a shorter option, the La Jolla Shores 5K race offers a mostly downhill course and features some of the most scenic views of the last 3.1 miles of the La Jolla half marathon course.
