It all starts with Future Stars Friday, where the sport’s stars of tomorrow compete in five Juvenile (two-year-old) races. The non-stop action continues on Saturday where the Breeders’ Cup will crown nine more World Champions across different surfaces and divisions, including the season-defining $6 million Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic.
In the world of horse racing, the Breeders' Cup is the year-end international championship of the sport. In short: “Racing’s Super Bowl.” The two-day event will attract the best horses and jockeys from around the world to Del Mar.
Enjoy picnic-style seating throughout the Infield, allowing for a variety of views. Additionally, there will be a large bar with covered seating featuring a selection of signature cocktails, craft beers and premium wine offerings. Video boards for viewing the races as well as betting windows will ensure that you don't miss any of the action on the track.

The La Jolla Half Marathon is one of America's most picturesque and beautiful point-to-point races. Starting at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, the course follows a scenic coastal route before reaching the challenging climb to the summit of Torrey Pines State Park. The course then rolls atop Torrey Pines mesa, continues down through residential La Jolla Shores, and finishes at La Jolla Cove.
For those interested in a shorter option, the La Jolla Shores 5K offers a mostly downhill course and features some of the most scenic views of the last 3.1 miles of the half marathon course.
