The Fields of Luck 5K is a limited-entry opportunity to run, walk, or stroll through one of San Diego’s most iconic spring destinations—right as the flowers reach peak bloom. This isn’t your average 5K. You’ll wind through vibrant rows of ranunculus, take in sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, and experience The Flower Fields in a way few ever do—before the gates open to the public. Dress in your favorite green, gold, or full St. Paddy’s flair and lean into the fun. Whether you’re chasing a PR, snapping photos, or soaking up the vibe with friends, this race is all about movement, music, color, and a little bit of luck. Spots are limited—once they’re gone, they’re gone.

In the zone. Locked in. In your element. Flow State is that indescribable moment when everything clicks - when you're so immersed in what you're doing that time dissolves, self-doubt fades, and you're simply present. The activity that inspires flow state looks different to everyone. It might be the feeling of a perfect cast, the rhythm of paddling downstream, or the meditative focus of watching water move over stones. This year's second annual Fish Water People Film Festival explores the Flow State, and the powerful connection between Californians and our waterways. Through a curated collection of short films, we will discover how flowing water draws us in, grounds us, challenges us, and reminds us what we're fighting to protect.
