Hey there, racers!

Get ready for an epic celebration where you can bask in your accomplishment, enjoy delicious treats, and soak up the post-race festive atmosphere. Let’s dive into all the fun areas awaiting you at the Finish Line Festival in Balboa Park!

 

The Lawn: Music, Reunions, Photo Ops, and Local Vendors!

The heart of the Finish Line Festival is a tree-lined lawn in Balboa Park. Immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere filled with upbeat music and the joyous reunions of finishers with their loved ones.

Snap some photos at our race backdrops with fun props and signs. There are backdrops for all events, including the SoCal Triple Crown. Grab your running buddies and take a photo! Be sure to tag us at @inmotionevents or use #afchalf #afc5K so we can cheer you on!

Relax and refuel with your finisher food bag, and enjoy the variety of local vendor booths. Thanks to our local partners, enjoy an organic energy bar from Jambar (crafted by the makers of Power Bar), a fair trade organic banana from Jimbo’s, gourmet crackers from Partner’s Crackers, and ice-cold chocolate milk from Hollandia Dairy. These tasty treats will fuel your celebration and energize you for more fun! 

 

 

 

Beer Garden Bliss: Beers, Kombuchas, and Relaxation.

Ready to raise a glass and toast to your accomplishments?! Head over to the beer garden! Every race entry (for participants 21+) includes a drink in the beer garden. This year we have an even larger selection for our racers to choose from. Sip on a refreshing Kings & Convicts local craft beer, a Michelob Ultra, or a Flying Embers hard kombucha, hard seltzer, or canned cocktail.
