Event Description

The Cabrillo Sunrise 5K Fun Run & Walk is a fundraiser in support of the underfunded programs at Cabrillo National Monument.

The Cabrillo Challenge route passes the park's most important landmarks before linking with the Bayside Trail - where participants can enjoy spectacular views as the sun rises over downtown  and Coronado.
