2026 CVC San Diego Triathlon and San Diego Tri Series 5K

Abrazo 5K Walk & 10K Run

This year’s Abrazo 5K Walk and 10K Run embraces the theme “Get Up, Stand Up.” Inspired by Bob Marley’s words, “One love, one heart, let’s get together and feel all right,” we honor his legacy of using music to uplift voices, champion social justice, and spread messages of love, unity, and resilience.

Casa Familiar continues this spirit through our mission of Advancing Communities—even in the face of adversity—by celebrating the strength of our comunidad.

Join us to uplift community wins and support Casa’s youth and senior programs. As a participant, you’ll help us meet growing needs while celebrating together.

Expect lively Rasta vibes, energizing music, and two special awards presented after the race during a short closing program.

The Abrazo 5K Walk & 10K Run takes participants along the scenic San Ysidro–Tijuana border. This year, we’re excited to bring back the Beer Garden — celebrate after the run with a refreshing drink! Beer access is included with your food and drink bracelet.
