ASH Foundation Run/Walk FAQs
This year's race is being offered in-person for those who can travel to San Diego and virtually for those unable to join in person. We are so pleased to have everyone join this important event.
What will the in-person course look like? The start and finish point will be Fifth Avenue Landing, which is located on the Embarcadero and marina side of the convention center toward the Hilton San Diego Bayfront hotel.
What is a virtual run/walk? A virtual run/walk is an event you can participate in – from anywhere. You can run, jog, or walk along a chosen route at your own pace. ASH encourages you to show your race pride in stride and post your photos and videos and share your stories using #ASH23.
Why a Run/Walk? ASH recognizes the importance of physical and mental health during this time. A run/walk allows us to exercise safely while socially interacting with our community (online).

support the ASH Foundation.
