Bagel Run 5K/10K/13.1 SAN DIEGO

Get ready for a deliciously fun challenge at the Bagel Run 5K/10K/13.1 SAN DIEGO, set for Saturday, August 15, 2026! This popular event, known for selling out quickly, offers a unique blend of fitness and community against the scenic backdrop of Mission Point or Mission Beach in San Diego, California. Participants can choose from a 5K, 10K, Half Marathon (13.1 miles), or a 1-mile Family Fun Run, making it perfect for all ages and fitness levels. The race kicks off bright and early at 7:30 AM PDT for all distances.

Runners will experience a stress-free environment on a looped course, starting and finishing in the same vibrant location, though it's important to note that the courses are not closed to other pedestrians enjoying the area. Typical race day conditions in mid-August are ideal for running, with highs around 78°F and lows around 68°F, and a 0% chance of precipitation, ensuring a comfortable experience. Aid is available on the course, which is well-marked and includes two water stations and restrooms along the way to keep you hydrated and comfortable.

What truly sets the Bagel Run apart is its convivial, pressure-free atmosphere, embodied by its motto: "Run for the carbs. Stay for the bagels." Timing is optional, allowing participants to track their own progress with apps or receive assistance from coordinators, without the pressure of timing chips. All registered runners receive a fantastic swag bag, conveniently shipped directly to their address, including a stylish running T-shirt, a finisher's medal, a finisher's towel or giveaway, and a digital training pack. This smaller, private group run fosters a strong sense of community, even offering invitations to join local running clubs to continue your fitness journey.
