The Kook Run

The Kook Run is a scenic running event held in Encinitas, California, along the picturesque Coast Highway 101. Featuring both 10K and 5K distances, the out-and-back course offers runners stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and famous surf breaks. The race begins with a gradual downhill stretch, followed by manageable uphill sections on the return, finishing with a lively final stretch through downtown Encinitas.

The event is family-friendly, including a Junior Kook Run for children aged 3-12. Participants can also enjoy a festive costume contest and a post-race festival with live music, food, and local vendors, making it a vibrant community celebration on Super Bowl Sunday.
