EVENT DATE: OCTOBER 26, 2025
The Binational Race San Diego Tijuana offers a unique opportunity to traverse the 13.1mi route shared between San Diego and Tijuana.
The half marathon begins its route on Las Americas Premium Outlets, proceeding along Camino de la Plaza avenue until reaching Dairy Mart Rd. At kilometer 5, participants will enjoy the natural reserves of Tijuana River Valley Park. At kilometer 10, they will experience crossing the border through the San Ysidro – El Chaparral international checkpoint.
Join all participants running in a lane of Freeway 5 to enter Mexico through the world’s busiest border crossing.
Following this historic crossing, participants continue along the international route. This significant effort is rewarded with panoramic views of San Diego and a fast 5 km descent until reaching the finish line at Playas de Tijuana.
The Binational Race is part of a regional movement promoting cultural, social, academic, sports, political, and family exchange between San Diego and Tijuana. View course maps here.
