The Flat and the Furious
Whether you're looking to crush a PR, cruise with friends, or simply enjoy a beautiful morning on the trails, this coastal gem offers something for every runner.

Welcome to the 11th Annual Coast to Crest 10K and 5k trail race in Del Mar, Ca.
With the exception of the first quarter mile, this is a very flat, very fast course, which is considered a SPRINT COURSE by most, and if you are a runner looking for a new PR, then look no further. Both courses feature spectacular, wide open lagoon views and a DOWN HILL finish. If you're lucky you may even see some Osprey flying above you, as that area is a nesting place for many of these beautiful birds.
The courses are out-and-back, are well groomed and 100% dirt trail.
*This is the final Championship Qualifier Event (10K and 5K)
