Run for Mental Health 5K/10K/13.1 SAN DIEGO
About the race
Run with purpose and heart for someone you know who is on the difficult journey of mental health. This event is about breaking the stigma and moving toward a healthier mind.
The events are kept small, personal and local, so every run feels less like a number and more like a memory.

The course
Location
City insight: San Diego
San Diego is a city on the Pacific coast of Southern California, next to the Mexican border, known for its beaches, parks and canyon-cut mesas. The climate is mild year-round, with warm, dry summers, mild winters and most of the modest rain falling between December and March. Coastal areas are cooled by the ocean and often by a marine layer, especially during May gray and June gloom, while inland areas swing more in temperature. Downtown averages about 10 °C January lows and 26 °C August highs. Conditions suit racing for much of the year, with inland courses warmer than the coast.
