The Experience
The Navy Ten-Miler launched in 2026 with over 1,000 runners from 36 states and 6 countries, uniting active-duty service members, veterans, and civilians along San Diego’s Chula Vista Bayfront. The course is a flat loop on paved roads, hugging the waterfront with ocean views and a cool sea breeze — ideal for a PR or a first ten-miler.
The atmosphere blends military precision with community warmth: helicopters perform flyovers, color guards present the flags, and volunteers from the Navy community man aid stations every two miles. The finish line opens to a festive after-party with music, food, and camaraderie, all benefiting Navy MWR programs.
Now part of the Armed Forces Series Challenge, the race is growing fast. Runners praise the smooth organization, the inspiring military presence, and the chance to run with purpose. Whether you’re chasing a fast time or honoring service members, this race delivers a meaningful, well-run weekend.
