This flat and fast course is perfect for everyone.... whether you are an experienced runner looking to set a 10K PR, a couple looking for something fun and healthy to do with your Valentine, or the casual runner/walker who loves being out and being involved in the community. Strollers are welcome.

Parking

Parking in Coronado can be challenging, especially during the summer months. Luckily the race is during the off season so there are many more parking sports available. It is highly recommended that you carpool with friends for the race and arrive early. The race will start on time at 8:00am. There are approximately 200 parking spots at Tidelands Park and the lot will close at 7:00 to allow for Start and Finish line setup. There is plenty of street parking nearby the start/finish line but it is on a first come, first serve basis.
