South Bay 24
The South Bay 24 is an annual timed running event held at Montgomery Waller Community Park in San Diego. The 2027 event date is July 23, and this edition is the sixth running of the event.
The course is a 1.22 mile loop that runs counter-clockwise and combines trail, grass, and bike path surfaces. Reported terrain composition is roughly 50% trail, 25% grass, and 25% bike path, with about 56 feet of elevation gain per loop. Completing 82 loops on this course equals 100 miles.
Race formats include a 24 hour event plus shorter timed options, a night and day 12 hour, a 6 hour, a HEFFTY half marathon (13 laps, about 15.86 miles), and a South Bay Social event. The South Bay Social is a relaxed morning run limited to 50 participants; it does not include awards but participants receive a finisher medal.
Event services on course include an aid station available throughout the event with water, electrolyte, and rotating snacks such as bagels, donuts, peanut butter sandwiches, potatoes, pretzels, trail mix, cookies, popsicles, sodas, lemonade, and iced tea. Runner facilities include a dedicated campsite area adjacent to the course, finisher medals for all participants, and a belt buckle award for those who complete 100 miles. No pre-event packet pickup is offered; bibs are distributed on site before each race. Pacers are permitted with a limit of one pacer on course at a time and must wear a pacer bib.
