La Jolla Half Marathon & La Jolla Shores 5K

The La Jolla Half Marathon is one of San Diego California’s most picturesque and beautiful point-to-point races. Starting at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, the course follows a scenic coastal route along the San Diego coast and reaches the challenging climb to the summit of Torrey Pines State Park. The race course then rolls atop Torrey Pines mesa, continues down through residential La Jolla Shores, and finishes at La Jolla Cove.

And, for those interested in a shorter option, the La Jolla Shores 5K race course offers a mostly downhill course and features some of the most scenic views of the last 3.1 miles of the La Jolla half marathon course.

Imagine miles of sun-drenched coast, an inviting ocean, and perfect weather pretty much anytime of the year, and you’ll understand why the La Jolla Half Marathon and La Jolla Shores 5K are some of San Diego California’s most picturesque running races.

From start to finish these races offer runners a chance to experience the coast like never before. Discover the views from the summit of Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve as you listen to the sound of the ocean lapping the shore to help you keep pace.

Whether you want to run your first half marathon or your fastest 5K, no matter which race you choose, you’ll have gorgeous views from Del Mar to the La Jolla Shores.
