Kids Magic Mile Driving Directions and Parking: From Interstate 5: Take Laurel Street Exit. Head east on Laurel to top of hill. Look for street parking near and around the west side of Balboa Park, and in available pay lots.
From Highway 163 southbound: Take University Exit. Turn Right on University, then left on 4th Avenue. Once you near the Park begin to look for parking. 6th Avenue will be closed from Upas to Juniper.
There is extensive street parking on 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Avenues between Upas and Fir. While there is ample parking, consider car pooling and plan to arrive in time to give your child at least 60 minutes to get familiar with the event layout, register if you haven't, and get to the starting line in time for his/her event.
Have fun and win cash for your school!
Cash awards will be presented to the largest teams based on the percentage of students in their school depending on the category (see example below). Team members may include students, teachers, parents, friends and anyone else who registers for either event under your team name.
Example: Martha Stewart Elementary has 500 students enrolled. If 250 people including students, parents, teachers, friends, etc., register on the Martha Stewart team this would equal 50% participation based on the amount of students enrolled.

Team Up For fun!
Click here to download the guide to forming a team.
Forming a team is fun and being a team captain is easy - just follow these easy steps:
Register your team by signing up online or by faxing your team captain registration form (in your team packet) to 760.692.2901.
Read everything in your team packet! The more you know about the race, the better team captain you will be!
Complete the team entry form with your contact info and due date (be sure to select a date early enough to allow sufficient time to organize everything and turn into Race Headquarters by the due date). If you are using online team registration, you only need to collect entry forms for your team members who DID NOT register online.
Pick up your team packet at our Pre-Race Registration event -- see info below.
Pre-Race Registration Event

*TEAM MEMBERS: If you are on a team for the event, your team captain is required to attend the Pre-Registration Event to claim the team's bib numbers and T-shirts then distribute them to each team member. Individual team members will not be able to pick up their own packet at this event.

Be a part of this fun event weekend by volunteering. Hundreds of volunteers are needed and jobs vary - choose one that sounds like fun to you. Volunteers each receive a cool event T-shirt.
