The Binational Race San Diego–Tijuana offers a truly unique running experience: a 13.1-mile course that connects two cities, two countries, and one powerful community. The Half Marathon starts at Las Americas Premium Outlets in San Diego and continues along Camino de la Plaza, leading runners toward Dairy Mart Road. Around kilometer 5, the course enters the scenic Tijuana River Valley Regional Park, where participants run alongside natural reserves before approaching the border. At kilometer 10, runners experience the unforgettable moment of crossing the international border through the San Ysidro–El Chaparral checkpoint, entering Mexico via the world’s busiest land border crossing. Participants run through a designated lane of Interstate 5, sharing a historic route that very few races in the world can offer. After crossing into Tijuana, the course continues along an international route, rewarding runners with panoramic views of San Diego and a fast, downhill final 5 kilometers leading to the finish line in Playas de Tijuana, where all race distances come together. More than a race, the Binational Race is part of a regional movement that promotes cultural, social, athletic, and community exchange between San Diego and Tijuana. Prepare yourself for an unforgettable challenge—one that goes beyond borders. Binational Race on Facebook / Instagram

Saturday, 7:30 p.m. Sunday, 2 p.m. Rafael Payare, conductor Joshua Brown, violin GABRIELA ORTIZ: "Kauyumari" SHOSTAKOVICH: Violin Concerto No. 1 in A minor, Op. 99 BARTÓK: Suite from "The Miraculous Mandarin," Op. 19 STRAVINSKY: "The Firebird Suite" (1919 version) Mexico, Russia, and Hungary converge in a dazzling celebration of rhythm, color, and movement. Gabriela Ortiz’s "Kauyumari" (2021), written for the Los Angeles Philharmonic, opens the program with explosive dance rhythms and luminous orchestral color. The title – “Blue Deer” in the Huichol language – refers to a visionary figure in that Indigenous culture, a symbol of hope and healing. Ortiz adapts a traditional Huichol melody into a joyful, propulsive orchestral showpiece. Shostakovich’s Violin Concerto No. 1, composed under Stalin’s terror yet premiered only after his death, moves from shadowy introspection to incandescent virtuosity. Written for the legendary David Oistrakh, it fuses anguish, irony, and klezmer tinged exuberance in one of the century’s great concertos. Bartók’s Suite from "The Miraculous Mandarin" bristles with raw power and sensuality. A modern day fable of violence and compassion, it stunned early audiences with its intensity and remains one of Bartók’s most daring scores. Stravinsky’s "Firebird Suite" crowns the evening with radiant, fairy tale splendor. Written for Diaghilev’s "Ballets Russes," it brims with shimmering orchestral colors and the triumph of light over darkness – music that heralded a new age of sound.
