The La Jolla Half Marathon race course is one of San Diegos most picturesque and beautiful point-to-point races. Starting at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, the course follows a scenic coastal route and reaches the challenging climb to the summit of Torrey Pines State Park. The 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.
Location: Ellenor Browning Scripps Park at La Jolla Cove serves as the finish line of the La Jolla Kiwanis Half Marathon and 5K Run. It is a festive completion of the race with refreshments, package pick-up and music for the runners, their families, and the overall community.
