The Vista Strawberry Run is part of the annual Vista Strawberry Festival and features a scenic, mostly flat 5 km course through historic downtown Vista, plus kids’ 1-mile and ¼-mile fun runs. The 5K starts early (7:30 AM), followed by the shorter runs later in the morning. Included in registration are perks like a custom event T-shirt, a commemorative medal, fresh local strawberries, a carton of strawberry milk, and a complimentary beer in the festival’s beer garden (21+). After the race, participants and spectators can enjoy the full festival — street fair, live entertainment, vendors, food, and community activities.
