The Taco 5k
Oceanside, Get Ready to Taco the 5K
The Taco 5K is not your typical 5K. It is a relaxed walking adventure through Oceanside, built around local tacos, community, and a whole lot of fun.
Gather your friends, family, coworkers, or taco-loving teammates and make your way through a scenic route featuring local taco stops. Along the way, you’ll find games, music, photo opportunities, surprise challenges, and plenty of reasons to slow down and enjoy the experience.
There are no timing chips and no pressure to race. Walk at your own pace, eat a taco at every stop, and fiesta your way to the finish.
