The flat and fast 5K (3.1-mile) course is celebrated for its breathtaking scenery, making it perfect for runners of all ages and abilities. Beginning at Spanish Landing Park, runners will enjoy continuous panoramic views of San Diego Bay, passing iconic landmarks like the Star of India and the USS Midway Aircraft Carrier, before crossing the finish line in the lively Ruocco Park near Seaport Village. Reviews consistently praise the "amazing" and "super flat" waterfront course for its beauty and accessibility.

Beyond the picturesque route, the San Diego International Triathlon 5K is known for its festive post-race experience. Participants receive a premium tech shirt and a unique finisher medal, with free post-race massages available to help you recover. The celebration continues with complimentary snacks, drinks, live music, and access to a Beer & Mimosa Garden (for those 21 and over). This well-organized event, produced by KOZ Events, also contributes to a good cause, benefiting Father Joe's Villages, San Diego's largest homeless services provider.
