All Day 20K Race Schedule

 

Sunday, September 20, 2020

6:53a – Race 1: Masters Men 40 and over

7:55a – Race 2: Masters Women 40 and over

9:04a – Race 3: Men 39 and under

9:45a – Race 4: Women 39 and under*

Please plan to arrive to the start line of each of your races at least 5 minutes before the published start time as actual start times are subject to change on race day in coordination with the train schedule.

*Since there are only 45 minutes between the Men 39 and under and Women 39 and under races, All Day 20K participants will have the option of substituting their 4th race for the Party People race. All Day 20K finishers need to complete the first 3 races in the correct order and then have an option to choose between Race #4 and the Party People race.

Please be aware that the course crosses two sets of railroad tracks. The tracks are active during the event and our staff closely monitors the train schedule. For the safety of all event participants, spectators, and volunteers, races may be stopped, delayed, and are subject to change at any time (including race day).

Courses

5K & All Day 20K
2020 Carlsbad 5000 Course (5K and All Day 20K): The course that started it all in 1986 has once again been approved and certified for 2020. Originally designed with the help of the legendary Steve Scott, the record-setting course starts with a blast down Grand Avenue before opening up to nearly 2 miles of quintessential SoCal Pacific goodness. The miles fly by on this out-and-back coastal section along Carlsbad Boulevard before the final turn onto Carlsbad Village Drive for that oh so sweet downhill finish into the heart of the Village.

2020 Carlsbad 5000 Course

Junior Carlsbad
ALL NEW for 2020! This brand new Junior Carlsbad course puts safety first by eliminating all train crossings and is designed to be a spectator-friendly route through the heart of Carlsbad Village. Parents rejoice with this easy to locate and easy to cheer along course for your tiny dashers!
