Race Information
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.
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. Get your end of the year PR!
Run Pick of the Month - Thrive Half Marthon
San Diego's most scenic half marathon is happening on November 2, 2024.
The Kaiser Permanente Thrive Half Marathon & 5K features an ulta scenic loop course through the heart of Mission Bay. Expect fast and flat stretches, bay views, and mellow ocean breezes along the entire course.
This run has been a regular addition to the San Diego race calendar (going on 8 years!). This year they have added a brand new half marathon relay, allowing you to split the distance with a friend and cross the finish line together!
