Closing in on a Cure – Susan G. Komen in San Diego

The Susan G. Komen Foundation has two amazing events in San Diego each year: the Race for the Cure and the San Diego 3-Day. (Photo courtesy Komen San Diego.)

San Diego hosts two premier events each year that support the Susan G. Komen Foundation, which uses proceeds from the events to fund breast cancer research, screenings and awareness. The hugely popular Race for the Cure is a 5K walk/run through downtown San Diego that takes place in early November each year and attracts a big crowd of pink-clad participants. Many of the runners, joggers and walks are motivated to complete the 3.1 miles in support of a family member or close friend who has been diagnosed with breast cancer or because they themselves have suffered from it.

While the Race for the Cure is great way to support the Susan G. Komen Foundation, those who want to make an even bigger splash sign up for the 3-Day. The Susan G. Komen 3-Day is a 60-mile trek through San Diego that is spread over three consecutive days. Participants are tasked with raising $2,300 for the foundation to earn the privilege of walking an average of 20 miles a day from the start on Friday until the finish line on Sunday.

Consider staying after the event or arrive early!

Rowing for Glory – The San Diego Crew Classic

The San Diego Crew Classic brings high school, collegiate and Masters-level rowers to beautiful Mission Bay each April for a weekend of top-flight competition.

The best rowers in the United States line Crown Point Shores every April for the largest exclusively eight-oared regatta in the world – the San Diego Crew Classic. The annual event draws top amateur rowers from premier university rowing programs and draws thousands of spectators and alumni to the sandy beaches and sparkling waters of Mission Bay in San Diego for two days of competitive races and related events.

The San Diego Crew Classic includes junior-varsity and varsity collegiate divisions as well as junior, club and masters’ races. In each event, eight rowers and a coxswain (who steers) work in unison to race their shell through 2,000 meters of water as quickly as possible. To win, crew members must work together to sync their motions and maintain balance, speed and a consistent and smooth forward motion. Even though the rowing may seem simple on the surface, crew involves complex, full-body movements that requires maximum effort and precise skill.

The Crew Classic is more than just a rowing regatta. The event is heralded as one of the top races in the sport, and the beautiful setting along the San Diego shoreline only enhances the experience. Couple that with perfect weather, sunny skies, stunning sunsets, awesome food trucks, craft brews and plenty of smiles and it’s easy to see why the San Diego Crew Classic is a must-do each spring.
