La Jolla Half Marathon and La Jolla Shores 5K

The Kiwanis Club of La Jolla Half Marathon is one of America’s most picturesque races.

Starting at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, the course follows a scenic coastal route that climbs to the summit of Torrey Pines State Park, rolls atop Torrey Pines mesa, continues down through residential La Jolla Shores, and finishes at La Jolla Cove.

For a shorter option, the La Jolla Shores 5K offers a mostly downhill course along the last 3.1 miles of the half marathon route.
