San Diego, CA–The GOVX San Diego Half Marathon has unveiled its locally-themed swag for the event’s 2025 edition taking place on March 23.
Both the finisher medals and shirts will allow participants to reflect on their San Diego race experience, featuring recognizable sights from America’s Finest City. The medals showcase a view of the downtown San Diego skyline from Harbor Island. The event shirts will feature the iconic Gaslamp Quarter arched sign, a landmark in San Diego’s historic district for decades, and serve as the backdrop to the race’s finish line.
The 14th annual half marathon race will take runners through five miles of waterfront, four historic communities, three parks, two miles of downtown streets, and finishes in the historic Gaslamp Quarter. The 5K is a flat and fast course all in downtown San Diego. Registration is open and over 6,000 racers from all around the nation and the world are expected to participate in this San Diego running tradition.
“We take pride in creating memorable events for our runners, and, when we design swag items for them, it’s important that they can be a true keepsake that marks their accomplishment,” said Christine Adams, CEO of In Motion Events. “Whether someone is local or visiting our city, they’ll be able to look back on race day and remember all the beauty and history they saw along the way.”
This is the second annual year that GOVX has served as the event’s title sponsor. The race showcases GOVX’s investment in the community and brings additional focus to the event’s support of the military, first responders, emergency medical professionals, and their families who are very predominant community members in the San Diego area, according to the CA Senators.
