The San Diego Rock and Roll Marathon has been “rocking” strong for the past 12 years. The average temperature at the start of the race is in the low 60s. This scenic 26.2 mile course is quick and is ideal for runners and walkers. Both runners and walkers can enjoy the 26 different entertainment stages that are set-up throughout the course.
The Rock and Roll Marathon starts at Balboa Park, runs through Hillcrest, passes The World Famous San Diego Zoo, goes through the newly built Petco Park baseball stadium, the historic Gaslamp District, San Diego Harbor, Seaworld and ends at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot at Point Loma.
The chart below outlines the course elevation levels that you will experience, while on your journey to the finish line.
