This event is a fundraiser for Lakeside's River Park Conservancy (LRPC). We hope to raise $25,000 which will help us get closer to our overall goal of being part of the 52-mile San Diego River Trail that will one day run from the mountains of Julian to the sea at Ocean Beach.

Event Features

Each paid entry includes a great t-shirt, post-race refreshments (water/oranges/bananas, Gatorade, Clif Builder Bars, etc.) and tons of fun! Join us for Post Race Festival which features vendor booths, food, music and entertainment, kids arts & crafts and more.
