The history
The annual San Diego Marathon is the second-oldest marathon on the West Coast. The first marathon held in San Diego was run from Oceanside to Mission Bay. For many years, the race was held annually in Mission Bay. In Motion Inc. was hired to produce the marathon in 1985. In 1990, the company took over ownership of the race and moved the marathon to North County.
