About the Margaritaville Run San Diego Gaslamp 10K & 5K
The course runs through the Gaslamp Quarter, one of downtown San Diego's most walkable and visually busy neighborhoods. Historic brick buildings, restaurant patios, and streetside palms line the route, so there is plenty to look at while you move. The streets here are flat and the surroundings keep the miles from feeling long.
