This year, we’re cranking it up!

Feel the adrenaline as you charge down a thrilling 5K route on the beach—starting on the boardwalk and finishing on the sandy shores—this time wearing a weighted vest you get to keep if you finish!

This isn’t just a run—it’s a battle against the clock, the elements, and yourself. Whether you’re chasing a personal best or gunning for the top spot, expect intensity, stunning views, and a finish that leaves you breathless.

Every runner earns an awesome finisher medal, bragging rights, and their very own weighted vest.

Lace up. Bring your A-game. Conquer Bolsa Chica.
