Kick off your Super Bowl Sunday with a 10K or 5K and race down the Coast Highway 101. Take in epic views of the Pacific Ocean and a few world-famous surf breaks.
Touted as one of the most beautiful race courses in Southern California, this out-and-back course will excite runners with its gradual downhill beginnings, challenged with some manageable uphill elements on the returns before delivering participants onto a sure-to-please final stretch through downtown Encinitas.
Running or walking the coast not enough for you? Then join the famous costume contest and win some great prizes.
If you’ve run on the Coast Highway in Encinitas, then you’ve run by the The Magic Carpet Ride, a.k.a. The Cardiff Kook. The Kook has become a landmark along State Coast Highway 101 and its popularity is renowned. Did you know at one point The Cardiff Kook was the most Googled sports figure in the world? Yep! The nickname comes from the statue’s infamous pose: one that local surfers tease makes him look like a “kook”. It is frequently adorned with various decorations or completely decked out in costumes to fit the occasion.
Stop by to see it on your way to enjoy our beautiful Encinitas beaches, if you’re camping at the nearby San Elijo State Beach Campground, or on your next training run for The Kook Run.
