Crown City Classic 12K & 5K

The Most Patriotic Race on The West Coast!   We’re thrilled to celebrate the 53rd year of the Crown City Classic 12K & 5K Run along the stunning Coronado Bay! Kick off your 4th of July festivities with a 12K (7.4 miles) or 5K (3.1 miles) run, and don’t forget that in 2026 our Crown City Kids Half Mile—open to racers 12 and under—will return to inspire the next generation of runners! Both courses start and finish in Tidelands Park, treating participants to picturesque views of the Coronado Bridge as they make their way along Glorietta Boulevard.    The Perks of Participating: Kick-start your 4th of July weekend!Exclusive 2026 Event TeeCommemorative Finisher MedalLive Finisher ResultsAccess to Crown City Classic ExpoOverall and Age Group Awards
