The Best Races - San Diego

San Diego's The Best Races events at Liberty Station offer 5K, 10K and 13.1-mile options in a friendly, intimate setting. The live races run in small waves that fill quickly, with a relaxed vibe and no on-site timing chips; timing is optional via apps and results are posted online. Participants receive a swag bag with a shirt shipped to their address, a finisher medal, towel or giveaway, and a digital training pack, plus an online certificate of completion.

A virtual option is available, along with charity initiatives and local-running clubs. Themes include Run for Coffee Lovers and Thanksgiving Gobble Trot. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
