SAN DIEGO HOLIDAY HALF MARATHON

City of San Diego Official Website
The San Diego Holiday Half Marathon is a fast 13.1 mile course that starts on Penasquitos Drive and Carmel Mountain Road, 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.

(R) on 56 BIKE PATH for 9 miles. Runners then exit the bike path at El Camino Real and turn (L) for 1/10 mile. (L) Carmel Valley Rd for 1/2 mile.
