Be sure to grab your family, friends, coworkers and come join us for one of the most fun filled events in Southern California, the Ramona 5k. It takes place at the breathtaking Backcountry Gardens and is part trails with a splash of mud run plus a healthy dose of Mother Nature’s obstacles mixed in for fun. You’ll also find hills, streams, boulders and much more. It's not your normal 5K, no PR's being set on this course! Everyone can do it as long as you have the drive and determination to keep going, not quit and in the words of Joe Dirt, “keep on keepin’ on.“

Once the fitness is over, you’ve gotta then join us across the road at the award winning Ramona Ranch Winery for a FREE wine tasting, and killer pizza for purchase from the Pizza Trolley. If you didn’t know, Ramona Ranch is also San Diego’s only Certified Sustainable Vineyard and Winery.

A portion of the proceeds help support the life changing OPERATION REBOUND – FRONTLINE TO FINISH LINE: CAF’s Operation Rebound® program strengthens the mental and physical well-being of veterans, military personnel and first responders with permanent physical injuries by providing them opportunities to use sports and fitness to re-integrate into our communities and by empowering them through sports.
