Billed by race organizers as "one of America's most picturesque and
challenging runs," the La Jolla Half Marathon begins in nearby Del Mar
at the Del Mar Fairgrounds on Jimmy Durante Boulevard, and continues
south toward La Jolla along some of the most scenic coastline roads in
Southern California. The course takes runners upwards in elevation
along a challenging climb to the summit of Torrey Pines State Park, and
then continues along the residential district of La Jolla Shores, and
finishes on the grass in
the park at La Jolla Cove.
