If you are looking for a getaway with a mild to major outdoor workout, Coronado has plenty of annual events. Here are few to consider.
Or if going at your own pace is your passion, remember that you can borrow our loaner beach cruiser bikes and explore Coronado on your own. 
The 7-mile long Silver Strand bikeway is great at any speed, with the San Diego Bay on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other. Or simple roll through our lovely neighborhoods admiring the architecture and landscapes.

Worth mentioning even though Coronado is not on the course, is the San Diego Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon on June 1-2, 2019. Since 1998, it has attracted runners from all over the world. Its claim to fame is the live entertainment provided by local bands every mile of the course, including classic rock, jazz, punk, funk and blues!

Runners enjoy a tour of some of San Diego’s most scenic spots – Balboa Park, San Diego Bay, Mission Bay, and a finish line at Petco Park. A half marathon race is also offered.
