La Jolla Half Marathon

La Jolla Half Marathon The La Jolla Half Marathon is one of San Diego California’s most picturesque and beautiful point-to-point races.

Imagine miles of sun-drenched coast, an inviting ocean, and perfect weather pretty much anytime of the year, and you’ll understand why the La Jolla Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K are some of San Diego California’s most picturesque running races. Starting at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, the course follows a scenic coastal route along the San Diego coast and reaches the challenging climb to the summit of To

rrey Pines State Park. The race course then rolls atop Torrey Pines mesa, continues down through residential La Jolla Shores, and finishes at La Jolla Cove. We also offer a 10K for anyone looking to skip the hill. Starting at the top of the mesa, our San Diego 10K follows a fast, coastal route that bypasses the Torrey Pines climb. And, for those interested in a shorter option, the 5K race offers a mostly downhill course and features some of the most scenic views of the last 3.1 miles of the La Jolla half marathon course.

MEET OUR NEXT 2027 RACE AMBASSADOR!

Give it up for the amazing Lasley Perez ()!

For Lasley, running is so much more than miles on a GPS watch—it’s her form of therapy, her stress release, and the bridge that connected her to an incredible running community.

Having run since high school, Lasley is officially thriving in her 30s as the healthiest version of herself! With 3 half marathons and 2 full marathons under her belt, she also took her passion a step further by co-founding Sisters Run Clubalongside her sister to build a women-only space that empowers runners to become the absolute best version of themselves.

As a 2027 Ambassador, Lasley is on a mission to inspire everyone—especially all the moms out there—to prove that we can do anything we set our minds to.

"Sign up for that race and let's run together!" — Lasley

But she didn't stop at her own miles—she co-founded Sisters Run Club () to build an inspiring, supportive community that empowers women in their running journeys every single week! 👟💪

We couldn't be more excited to have her positive energy on our team as we gear up for 2027.

Are you passionate about this race, running, and the community around you? We want to hear from you.

The 2027 La Jolla Half Marathon Ambassador Program is now open — and we're looking for runners from every corner of the world, every background, and every pace group. All shapes, all sizes, all personalities. What matters is that you love this race and the people you run with.

As an ambassador, you're not just representing one of San Diego's most celebrated races — you're the reason someone else crosses this finish line (and help them finish their goal). You inspire your friends, your running groups, and your followers. You give them a reason to show up. And your own race experience gets richer because of it.

If you have enthusiasm for La Jolla, strong connections in your running community, and a genuine desire to bring people into something worth running — this is your program.
