  EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION FOR 2027!!

  Kick off your Super Bowl Sunday with a 10K or 5K and race down the Coast Highway 101. Take in epic views of the Pacific Ocean and a few world-famous surf breaks.

  Touted as one of the most beautiful race courses in Southern California, this out-and-back course will excite runners with its gradual downhill beginnings, challenged with some manageable uphill elements on the returns before delivering participants onto a sure-to-please final stretch through downtown Encinitas.

  Running or walking the coast not enough for you? Then join our famous costume contest and win some great prizes.
