Carlsbad is the Perfect Winter Race

Carlsbad is a winter marathon and half marathon unlike any other. From our ideal weather conditions to our spectacular coastal course, our award winning event will wow you. Our 26 fully staffed course support stations, continuous entertainment and unsurpassed volunteer support are just a few of our outstanding features. We also offer each participant a gender specific long-sleeve technical fabric shirt, virtual goodie bag, spectacular finisher's medal, post-race refreshments and much more. Our boutique style event with an emphasis on quality and individual service sets us apart from the mega marathons. Our events sell out, register early.

The Half Marathon Triple Crown is 39.3 miles of running paradise with three of the country's best and most scenic half marathons. The series kicks off each year in January with the Tri-City Medical Center Carlsbad Marathon and Half Marathon, continues  with the La Jolla Half in April and finishes with the America's Finest City Half in August. All events sell out, so register early. Complete all three in the same calendar year and in addition to a huge sense of accomplishment, you'll earn a gorgeous Triple Crown medal (like the one shown above) in the finish line festival area immediately following the America's Finest City Half. You don't need to do anything other than register and finish all three in the same calendar year and you're in the series - it is that simple!

Congratulations to our 2012 Half Marathon Triple Crown Finishers!
