Race Information
SCAD is the #1 cause of heart attacks in women under age 50, pregnant women & new moms. 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 recur and can be fatal. Research is needed to identify the cause(s) and the best treatment options.
This timed 5K run/walk raises funds for SCAD research and 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). Awards will be given to the overall winners. Medals/recognition will be given to top finishers in different age groups.
