Lace up for the inaugural Navy Ten-Miler on Sunday, February 22, 2026, in scenic Chula Vista, California. This inspiring event welcomes athletes, service members, veterans, and civilians alike to honor the Navy's core values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment, all while supporting Navy Morale, Welfare, and Recreation programs. Participants can choose between the challenging 10-mile distance or the accessible 5K, both promising an unforgettable experience along the iconic San Diego Bay waterfront.

The course, beginning and ending at Bayside Park, offers breathtaking views of the San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge and the picturesque coastal areas. The 10-mile route features an elevation gain of 147 feet, while the 5K is entirely flat, making it ideal for all fitness levels. Runners can expect well-supported hydration stations every 1-2 miles, providing both water and sports drinks to keep you refreshed. Typical race day conditions in late February offer pleasant weather, with highs around 66F and lows around 49F, and only an 8% chance of precipitation.

More than just a race, the Navy Ten-Miler is a celebration of community, patriotism, and the strength of the Navy. It's a unique opportunity to connect with fellow runners and contribute to a meaningful cause that directly benefits Navy families.
