the 2014 event begins on Tony Gwynn Drive under the Omni
Sky Bridge and follows a signature scenic course that
showcases San Diego’s beautiful bayfront and historic
communities. New this year is a two-person relay with
each runner completing 6.55 miles and a shuttle van that
reunites the pairs to finish together. The ‘5K’ course
is also back, a shorter, fun-filled option with the same
starting line and equally spectacular views as the half
marathon. All races will finish in the Gaslamp District
featuring a live jumbotron and “Celebrate San Diego”
festivities with different bands and activities in
various locations throughout the Gaslamp District. The
“Celebrate San Diego” party is free to
the public thanks in part to generous sponsors including
the Trauma Research Education Foundation (official
medical sponsor), Pureflo (official water sponsor),
Mintz Levin, Mogiv, Rocksports (gold sponsors); Clif
Bar, Dole, Sign Distinction, Ultima Replenisher and Zico
(supporting sponsors).
