Puerto Nuevo
The Pacific Coast Highway of Baja. Lobster villages. A course that ends at the sea. This is running like a local.
You will meet at the border, settle in Rosarito, eat the lobster Puerto Nuevo is famous for, see the entire race course before you run it, and wake up Sunday morning ready. No scrambling. No figuring it out alone. Just a well-run weekend in one of the most underrated coastal destinations in North America. For those who want more, Valle de Guadalupe waits right after the finish line.
This trip is a partnership between Run Like a Local and Latinas a Correr, celebrating Latina women running across Latin America and the joy, strength, and community that comes with showing up for each other, mile after mile. Led by Arlene of Latinas a Correr and Alberto of Run Like a Local. You do not have to be Latina, or a woman, to join us. You just have to want to be part of something real.
Come for the run. Stay for the lobster.
No scrambling for logistics. No navigating the border alone. You trained with women who showed up for you every single week. Now you cross the finish line with them, feet from the Pacific, with a table of fresh lobster waiting before you've even caught your breath.

Three Days in Baja
Meet at the San Ysidro border, or get picked up at the Tijuana Airport. Traditional lobster lunch in Puerto Nuevo — set the scene and see the finish line before you've run a step. Drive the full race course, Rosarito south to Puerto Nuevo, so nothing is a surprise on race morning. Check in to City Express by Marriott, Rosarito — the race expo is right here. Bib pickup, then a pasta dinner together as a group.
The Puerto Nuevo Half Marathon. 6:30 AM start. 21.1 km along the Pacific coast, Rosarito to Puerto Nuevo. Mostly flat, ocean views the whole way, open to all paces. Back to the hotel after for breakfast and showers.
Staying on? Ensenada ceviche tostada stop, then check in to a boutique hotel in Valle de Guadalupe with a welcome glass of local wine, a private winery tour, and dinner in the valley. Heading home? Private transportation straight back to the border.Breakfast at the hotel, then a morning winery tour and tasting — nothing commercial, a real producer who cares about the land. Farm-to-table lunch in the valley. Private transportation back to the San Ysidro border or Tijuana Airport.
