Crown City Classic 12K or 5K Run
2022-07-02 07:00 - 10:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Tidelands Park, 2000 Mullinex Drive, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
The 49th edition of the Crown City Classic will take place on Saturday, July 2nd and annually welcomes more than 2,000 runners to Coronado. Runners and walkers will gather to celebrate one of San Diego’s iconic Fourth of July traditions and run a 12k or 5k on one of the most scenic race routes in the region. The Crown City Classic benefits the 501c3 Islander Sports Foundation. Also returning in 2022 is our Crown City Half Mile for kids!
For more information or to register for the event, visit CrownCityRun.com.
“No city celebrates Independence Day better than Coronado, and there’s no better July 4th fitness goal than to run 7.4-miles in celebration of 7/4,” said Jamie Monroe, Race Director and owner of Coronado-based Easy Day Sports. “Kicking off the holiday weekend with a world-class running event, combined with stunning views of downtown San Diego and the patriotic atmosphere throughout the island creates the perfect dynamic that runners of all abilities don’t want to miss.”
Last year the Crown City Classic was the first live, in-person event to return to San Diego after the start of the pandemic. Both the 12k (7.4 miles) and 5k events start with a patriotic experience unlike any other – running under the largest US flag on the west coast – and finish at scenic Tidelands Park, showcasing the pageantry and patriotism of America’s birthday, featuring views of San Diego’s downtown skyline, golf course and Coronado Bridge.
The Islander Sports Foundation (ISF) returns as the official charity of the event, annually raising tens of thousands of dollars each year to meet the needs of Coronado school sports.

Everyone recognizes the familiar strains of a circus calliope—beckoning you into the colorful Big Top where thrills and chills await you. Step right up and into the dark tent that has come to Coronado High School this Halloween. Sneak beyond the curtains to unveil the horrors lurking within the shadows of the creepy circus and explore its deadly and destructive secrets. The talented students of Coronado School of the Arts (CoSA) have combined to present a haunted attraction from Wednesday, October 26 to Saturday, October 29.
From 6 to 7pm, the creepy carnival is safe for all ages, but after 7pm, a menagerie of monsters and sinister creatures await all those who step inside. This event includes flashing lights, graphic imagery, haze and loud noises. Tickets are $10 at the door near the CHS Black Box Theatre at 650 D Avenue.
“It’s a great opportunity for all the CoSA conservatories to come together to provide the children of Coronado with a safe, fun Halloween scare,” says MaeAnn Ross, CoSA’s Technical Theatre Production & Design Department Chair. “But it’s just as rewarding to hear the terrified screams of teenagers.”
Coronado School of the Arts (CoSA) is a premier public-school arts conservatory, home to 150 scholar artists grades 9 through 12, who attend the nationally ranked Coronado High School. CoSA provides an intense, pre-professional arts education to students from all over San Diego in six conservatories including Classical & Contemporary Dance, Digital Arts, Instrumental Music, Musical Theatre & Drama, Theatre Production Design & Management, and Visual Art.
