Starting and finishing at the Pier Plaza Amphitheater near the Oceanside Pier, participants will follow a more-or-less 5K loop, stopping along the way for tacos from local restaurants, taco-themed games, challenges, music, photo opportunities, and plenty of fun. There are no timing chips, no pressure, and absolutely no reason to hurry. Every participant receives an official Taco 5K race bib, event T-shirt, tacos from participating restaurants, a finisher medal, and access to games and challenge stations. Get your tickets now!
