Binational Race San Diego–Tijuana is one of the most unique running experiences in the world—connecting two countries, two cultures, and thousands of runners in a single race.

In 2026, participants can choose from three distances: 13.1 miles, 12K, and 10K, all finishing together at the iconic Faro de Playas de Tijuana overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

The 13.1-mile Half Marathon and the new 12K distance both start at Las Americas Premium Outlets in San Ysidro, California. Along the route, runners pass through the scenic Tijuana River Valley, before reaching one of the most unforgettable moments of the race: crossing the international border on foot through the San Ysidro–El Chaparral port of entry.

Running through the far right lane of Interstate 5, participants experience something very few races in the world can offer—crossing from the United States into Mexico alongside thousands of runners. This historic moment is what makes the Binational Race truly special.

With the introduction of the 12K distance, even more runners will have the opportunity to experience this extraordinary cross-border journey.

The 10K distance takes place entirely in Tijuana, offering runners a vibrant city route before joining the final stretch toward the coast.

All three distances share the same unforgettable finish line at the Faro de Playas de Tijuana, where runners celebrate their accomplishment surrounded by ocean views and the energy of the border region.

More than a race, Binational Race is part of a regional movement that celebrates the cultural, social, and human connection between San Diego and Tijuana.

NOTE: You will need to present a Passport, Global Entry or Sentry Card at U.S. Customs/Border when going or returning to the U.S.
