Rock 'n' Roll San Diego

REGISTER FOR 2019

It all began in San Diego in 1998 and for over 20 years, the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series has made running fun by infusing each course with live bands, cheer teams and more. In 2018, we brought our best to the Synchrony Rock ‘n’ Roll San Diego Marathon & 1/2 with more music, runner support, and community engagement every step of the way. This event has always been our Epic Summer Run, and we’re already planning on ways to make 2019 even better!

2018 HIGHLIGHTS

San Diego welcomed approximately 27,000 runners at the Synchrony Rock ‘n’ Roll San Diego Marathon & 1/2 Marathon. Olympians and hometown heroes, Des Linden and Meb Keflezighi, paced the half marathon encouraging runners to their goals as Full House’s, Andrea Barber, took on leg two of relay. The Revivalists celebrated with runners and spectators at the Toyota Rock ‘n’ Roll Concert Series, but not before three of the members took on the half marathon themselves.

You can’t beat America’s Finest City in the beginning of June. The weather has hit the ideal sunny and 75 degrees, setting the stage for a perfect marathon event in Southern California. With the start line beginning in the city’s famed Balboa Park and the finish line ending up down by the bay, it’s no wonder this race is one of the year’s most popular.

For San Diego first timers, there is an endless amount of activity available that keeps this city as one of the nation’s top destinations. But even if the Rock ‘n’ Roll San Diego Marathon & 1/2 Marathon tops your race list year after year, you’ll find that the city is also ever-changing, meaning there’s always something new to discover.

Race weekend can fly by, especially since nearly one full day will be dedicated to the race. However, make the most of your 48 hours in the palm-tree landscape of SoCal by fitting a few of these “must dos” into your schedule.
