  OUR CAUSE

  Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) is a little-known and poorly understood cause of a heart attack. Most patients are young, healthy, and active women who do not have the typical risk factors of heart disease. Although less common, it can affect men too. SCAD can reoccur and can be fatal. Research is needed to identify the cause(s) and the best treatment options.

  SCAD is the #1 cause of heart attacks in women under age 50, pregnant women & new moms.

  SCADaddle

  Our timed 5K run/walk takes place on the south side of Crown Point Park in San Diego on Mission Bay. Enjoy the course along the bay on the bay side walkway. Free Parking.

  Welcome to the Black Mountain Turkey Burner Trail Race. The most technical trail race on the ERS' Sunshine Series schedule.

  Join us Sunday November 28, 2026, for the 10th Annual event and burn off all that turkey (or tofurkey) you may have consumed over the holiday.

  All runners will start and finish at the Black Mountain Community Park. The Half will experience some major "hill" climbing on some very technical trails, while the 10K and 5K will feature some less technical and a little more groomed dirt trail (with some solid climbing)

  Due to new park guidelines, this event is limited to 300 runners. This event will sell out early, so please sign up early!

  CARPOOLING IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

  The San Diego Holiday Half Marathon is a fast 13.1-mile course that starts on Penasquitos Drive in front of the Hotel Karlan (formerly, the Doubletree Golf Resort) then travels SW along Carmel Mountain Rd (your only ‘real’ hill at mile 1.5), along the 56 bike path and finishes at the beautiful Torrey Pines State Beach (pictured above!). The race includes a 711-foot net elevation drop along the “rolling” downhill bike path, which also makes it a personal best candidate. This popular winter half has been a sell-out event every year. Get your end-of-the-year PR!!!

  Welcome to the 13th Annual Coast to Crest 10K and 5k trail race in Del Mar, Ca.

  With the exception of the first quarter mile, this is a very flat, very fast course, which is considered a *SPRINT COURSE by most, and if you are a runner looking for a new PR, then look no further. Both courses feature spectacular, wide open lagoon views and a DOWN HILL finish.

  If you're lucky you may even see some Osprey flying above you, as that area is a nesting place for many of these beautiful birds.

  The courses are out-and-back, are well groomed and 100% dirt trail.

  *All running and walking levels are welcome, the SPRINT only means the course is flat and allows runners to go faster than normal on the trail.
