The Rock and Roll San Diego Marathon is an annual early summer event that was first held in 1998. The race takes the marathoners through many of San Diego’s picturesque areas.
The next race is scheduled for May 31, 2020. This edition will feature a new event, the Half-Marathon.
The 25-mile full marathon will start at Balboa Park at the intersection of Quince Street and 6th Avenue. The runners will proceed north towards North Heights through Mountain View Drive to the 6-mile mark. Before the 9-mile mark, the full marathoners will split off from the half-marathoners and continue on until they reach University Avenue, moving west toward Mission Bay. The full marathon ends at the intersection of Ash Street and Union Street.
Where the runners split off into two groups, the half-marathoners head south through Balboa Park along Jacaranda Place and Pershing Drive. The half-marathon ends near the water on State Street.
The 2020 races start at 6:15 a.m. Fees are $75 for the full marathon and $70 for the shorter race.
