March 7, 2010 8:00 am - 11:00 am.
The Union-Tribune Race for Literacy is a fast and very scenic 8K run/walk (that’s just under 5 miles) which starts in Balboa Park, winds its way down scenic Highway 163 (closed, of course) and finishes at Pantoja Park on G. Street in downtown San Diego. After the race, a party complete with treats, entertainment and booths in Pantoja Park awaits, then a bus ride back to your car in Balboa Park. This is one of San Diego’s favorite events!

Have fun and win cash for your school!
Cash awards will be presented to the largest teams based on the percentage of students in their school depending on the category (see example below). Team members may include students, teachers, parents, friends and anyone else who registers for either event under your team name.
This will affect our Balboa Park Loop. We will have alternate routes during the time of the race. Tours
may be delayed due to traffic.
