Race Information

The Margaritaville Run San Diego Gaslamp brings a tropical-themed road race to the historic Gaslamp Quarter in downtown San Diego.

The 5K follows a compact route through the district, while the 10K adds an extended loop for more city scenery. Both distances start beneath the historic Gaslamp Quarter sign and finish at the Margaritaville Hotel, where the race transitions into a post-race celebration.

A costume contest, live entertainment, beer garden, and complimentary margarita for participants age 21 and older reinforce the event’s relaxed, party-oriented character. The race also supports Give Kids The World Village.
