The Balboa Park 8 Miler is one of my favorite local races. It combines both road and trail running through one of the biggest draws to America's Finest City. Even though Balboa Park is essentially my back yard and I run in the park frequently, I still love participating in this

Pretty fun community run. More people than I expected last year and a pretty easy course. When I ran, some local high schools were featured and using it for training too.

Great race to get up and out on a Saturday morning in the summer! All proceeds support a great local non-profit. Snacks, water stations, and a flat course with a view of the Edgartown Harbor!
