Race Information
Join Belmont Park's Dipper Dash 5K, a scenic beachfront race along San Diego's iconic Mission Beach Boardwalk. Starting and finishing inside historic Belmont Park, runners will enjoy a flat, fast course on one of San Diego's most popular running routes.
Whether you're chasing a personal record or enjoying the ocean views, the Dipper Dash offers the perfect combination of speed, scenery, and race-day fun. Every registration includes a custom finisher medal, chip timing, free race photos, a complimentary drink ticket, and a Belmont Park Ride & Play Wristband, giving participants unlimited access to rides and attractions all day.
After the race, celebrate at the beachside after-party with live DJs, wellness experiences, local vendors, and oceanfront views.
The Dipper Dash proudly supports The Animal Pad, a San Diego-based nonprofit dedicated to rescuing dogs from high-risk situations and helping them find safe, loving forever homes. Animal Pad staff and adoptable dogs will be on-site throughout the event, giving participants the opportunity to meet their next furry family member and learn about fostering.
