SDTC Races

SDTC presents several running events throughout the year. Some of the longest-standing running events in San Diego County were started by the club and are managed by them still today!

We strive to provide affordable and family friendly events for all abilities. Awards are typically provided by age groups in 5-year increments offering many the opportunity to be recognized. These classic events have been run by tens of thousands of runners over the years. We hope to see you at an event soon.

SDTC MEMBERS save even more on club race registrations plus many other special offers and discounts.
