  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.

We invite you to become part of this wonderful legacy event and become part of history!

Our race is very inclusive and we make triathlon accessible to as many people as possible. We have the traditional Swim/bike/ Run Triathlon but we offer so much more. If you do not like swimming, we have the Duathlon which is a Run/ Bike/ Run, if you don’t want to bike then choose the Aquathlon Swim / Run, or if you don’t want to run choose the Aquabike Swim/Bike. We even have a Mini Distance Triathlon for beginners that want to try out the sport. We even offer free training groups every week to help people get started, train, and get connected to the San Diego Triathlon Community.

  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.

  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.

  Welcome to Wine Country and the 10th Annual San Pasqual Valley Trail Race. This race is as scenic as it gets in San Diego County. Regardless of which distance you choose (there are 3), runners will be treated to epic views as they race along the wineries and orange groves of San Pasqual Valley.

  The 10K is considered to be a relatively flat course, while the "Hefty" Half Marathon and 20 Mile options will summit Raptor Ridge, not once but TWICE, in this out and back course.

  There is a chance this race will make you hate running, but fall in love at the same time. The views are definitely worth the effort and are second to none once you reach the top.

  Wine at the finish line!! That's right... You read that correctly! We have partnered up with some of the local vineyards, to do a FREE wine tasting at the finish line.

  This event is limited to 450 runners.

  NEW IN 2027: You read the above correct. the half marathon is now 14 MILES. This adjustment to the course allows for us to add an extra aid station for those runners and to make the turnaround point a little more noticeable along the course (a win-win for everyone!)

  *This is the Final Championship Event for the Half Marathon category.

  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.
