GOVX San Diego Half Marathon and 5K

The 14th annual GOVX San Diego Half Marathon takes runners through five miles of waterfront, four historic communities, three parks, two miles of downtown streets, and finishes in the historic Gaslamp Quarter. The 5K is a flat and fast course all in downtown San Diego. Registration is now open and thousands of runners from all around the nation and the world are expected to participate in this San Diego running tradition.

The GOVX San Diego Half Marathon and 5K is a part of In Motion Events’ San Diego Foundation SoCal Triple Crown race series, which also includes the Carlsbad Marathon, Half Marathon and 5K, and the America’s Finest City Half Marathon and 5K. This trio offers a variety of courses and scenery throughout San Diego, providing athletes with a fun and unique running experience in distinct parts of the city and county. Athletes who participate in each race in the same calendar year, no matter the distance they participate in, will be awarded a San Diego Foundation SoCal Triple Crown medal to celebrate their accomplishment of completing the race series. Runners simply register for all three events separately, no additional registration or fee is required to qualify for the San Diego Foundation SoCal Triple Crown finisher award.

We offer a 10% military discount to active duty service members. Make sure to answer the questions about military service during registration to receive the discount instructions.

Course Amenities
Water and restrooms will be available throughout the course. Electrolytes and energy gel will also be available at select stations.

Course Restrictions
Strollers, racing chairs, and handcycles are not allowed on the half marathon or 5K course due to a few key sections of the course that are too narrow to accommodate wheeled vehicles, the steep descent on the Half Marathon course, and the trolley tracks that are crossed. Dogs are not allowed to participate in the race - we ask that you leave your four-legged friends at home.

Awards
Awards will be available for pick-up on race day.
