Half Marathon, 10K, & 5K

San Diego Running Races

Imagine miles of sun-drenched coast, an inviting ocean, and perfect weather pretty much anytime of the year, and you’ll understand why the La Jolla Half Marathon, our San Diego 10K, and La Jolla Shores 5K are some of San Diego California’s most picturesque running races. 

From start to finish these races offer runners a chance to experience the coast like never before. Discover the views from the summit of Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve as you listen to the sound of the ocean lapping the shore to help you keep pace.

Whether you want to run your first half marathon, step up from our 5K to our 10K, or run your first 5K, no matter which race you choose, you’ll have gorgeous views from Del Mar to the La Jolla Shores.

La Jolla

Half Marathon

Starting at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, the course follows a coastal route to the summit of Torrey Pines State Park and then rolls atop Torrey Pines mesa. It continues through La Jolla Shores, and finishes at La Jolla Cove.

The La Jolla

10K

Starting at the top of the mesa, this San Diego 10K follows a fast, coastal route that bypasses the Torrey Pines climb. The course leads you through the scenic streets of La Jolla Shores and offers a beautiful, net-downhill finish at La Jolla Cove.

5K Race

For those interested in a shorter option, the La Jolla Shores 5K offers a mostly downhill course and features some of the most beautiful scenic views of the last 3.1 miles of the La Jolla half marathon course.
