About the Event

Experience the sweet excitement of San Diego's Donut Dash 5K, returning stronger than ever! This unique race offers more than just a run; it’s a celebration of donuts and fun. Upon crossing the finish line, you'll receive a themed medal to commemorate your victory.
The event features a delectable free donut bar at the finish line, where over 1,000 donuts await eager runners. But that's not all—there's also an exhilarating "Donut Mile" challenge for those seeking extra excitement. This race segment requires you to consume four donuts per quarter-mile lap without any... shall we say, unfortunate outcomes.
For the ultimate test of endurance and sweet tooth, top performers in the Donut Mile will earn a special Donut Championship Belt. Join this family-friendly event where free samples from local bakeries and donut shops are generously provided, ensuring everyone leaves with a treat or two.
Don't miss out on this delicious opportunity to enjoy some of San Diego's finest pastries while running through its charming streets. The Donut Mile is limited to 100 participants, so sign up quickly if you want your chance at the championship belt!
Event shirts are available for purchase but not mandatory, adding a touch of flair without any extra cost.
Mark your calendar and get ready for an unforgettable race where every step is sweet!
