About the Crown City Classic
The Crown City Classic is San Diego’s longest running 4th of July tradition, which kicks off the holiday festivities at Coronado Tidelands Park. Both the 12k (7.4 miles) and 5k events showcase the pageantry and patriotism of America’s birthday, featuring views of San Diego’s downtown skyline and Coronado Bridge, running along portions of the parade route as crowds gather for the west coast’s largest 4th of July Parade. One of the best Independence Day events on the West Coast, race day annually welcomes over 2,000 athletes to one of San Diego’s most beautiful places to run.
The 50th annual Crown City Classic will take place on the morning of Tuesday, July 4th on Coronado Island. Runners and walkers will gather to celebrate one of San Diego’s iconic 4th of July traditions and run a 12k or 5k on one of the most scenic courses in the region. “There is no better destination in the United States on 4th of July weekend than the City of Coronado,” said Jamie Monroe, Race Director with Easy Day Sports. “The combination of stunning waterfront views and patriotic atmosphere throughout the community creates the perfect summertime race dynamic that runners won’t want to miss." Runners are encouraged to take advantage of special early bird pricing by signing up today.
