La Jolla Half Marathon

La Jolla Half Marathon The La Jolla Half Marathon is one of San Diego California’s most picturesque and beautiful point-to-point races.

Imagine miles of sun-drenched coast, an inviting ocean, and perfect weather pretty much anytime of the year, and you’ll understand why the La Jolla Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K are some of San Diego California’s most picturesque running races. Starting at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, the course follows a scenic coastal route along the San Diego coast and reaches the challenging climb to the summit of To

rrey Pines State Park. The race course then rolls atop Torrey Pines mesa, continues down through residential La Jolla Shores, and finishes at La Jolla Cove. We also offer a 10K for anyone looking to skip the hill. Starting at the top of the mesa, our San Diego 10K follows a fast, coastal route that bypasses the Torrey Pines climb. And, for those interested in a shorter option, the 5K race offers a mostly downhill course and features some of the most scenic views of the last 3.1 miles of the La Jolla half marathon course.

Meet Heidi Kinney: Ultramarathoner, Director of Marketing, and 10K Sprinter. 🏃‍♀️💨

After 4 years on the Half Marathon course, I’m doing things a little differently for 2026. I’m ditching the 13.1 to "redline" our inaugural 10K. Why? Because I want to be in the first-ever group to cross this finish line—and I want to sprint every single mile of it.

⚠️ FAIR WARNING: If you want to join me, you have to move. We are down to the final 30 spots for the 10K debut, and prices for ALL distances jump on April 30th.

I’ll be hanging out at the Runner’s Expo and the Finish Line Festival (find me at the Ambassador Tent or the merch booth). Come say hi, tell me about your race, and if you’re looking to join our 2027 Ambassador Program, let’s talk!

See you at the Cove!

Your body compensates every single run. Here's what that means for you. 👇

When your pelvis tilts or rotates, the wrong muscles start carrying the load. Your hips shift. Your knees absorb excess strain. Your lower back picks up the slack.

Over time? Compensation becomes pain, injury, and earlier fatigue.

Tighties Stabilizer aligns your pelvis, activates your glutes and core, and teaches your body to move the way it's designed to — so you can run stronger, longer, and pain-free.

✅ 20% off with code LAJOLLA
✅ HSA/FSA eligible
✅ 30-day guarantee

If you're training hard and want to move stronger, recover faster, and keep pushing your limits, this is for you.

Meet Tighties Stabilizer: wearable movement technology that aligns your pelvis, activates the right muscles, and retrains how your body moves. It's not a brace. It's not compression. It's a completely new approach to running stronger and staying pain-free.

Here's what it does: ✅ Guides your body toward neutral alignment while you run ✅ Cues your glutes, core, and stabilizers to fire at the right time ✅ Addresses your hips, knees, and back as one connected system

The result? Fewer injuries. Less pain. More endurance. Stronger performance.

Exclusive for La Jolla runners:
👉 Use code LAJOLLA for 20% off your first pair
👉 HSA/FSA eligible
👉 30-day money-back guarantee

Run smarter. Run stronger. Run with Tighties.
