In just a few days, the 2026 Susan G. Komen San Diego 3-Day^® will be underway. Get ready for an unforgettable weekend filled with inspiration, the Pink Bubble community you know and love and a few new experiences along the way. 

This year, 3-Day Camp will be headquartered at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay, with the tented campsites nearby at Sunset Point Park. Walkers will also see some new Pit Stop locations throughout the weekend, sure to add more memorable moments to their 3-Day journey. 

Day 1  

Our 60-mile adventure begins Friday morning at the Del Mar Fairgrounds with the inspiring Opening Ceremony. If you walked the San Diego 3-Day before, this year’s route may feel both familiar and refreshing.  

We’ll start along Del Mar Dog Beach, where playful dogs run and swim while watching surfers ride the waves. From there, we’ll follow the beautiful shoreline of Torrey Pines State Beach, known for its dramatic cliffs and breathtaking views.  

Along the way, you’ll pass Salk Institute for Biological Studies, the  Ellen Browning Scripps Pier and UC San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography, where scientific research and oceanographic studies are conducted to maintain the beautiful waters and marine life you will see on your walk. Keep your eyes peeled in La Jolla Shores and La Jolla Cove for leopard sharks, sea lions, harbor seals and bottlenose dolphins gliding through the clear blue waters. You’ll also pass the Children’s Pool La Jolla, a favorite for visitors watching sunbathing harbor seals and sea lions. 

 At the end of Day 1, head over to camp at the Hyatt to relax in the Bank of America massage chairs, enjoy some delicious food and attend the Top Fundraiser Showcase Showdown.

Day 2  

Fuel up with breakfast before setting out on the second day toward the coastal neighborhood of Mission Beach and Belmont Park, a historic amusement park that’s been entertaining visitors since 1925 and home to the iconic Giant Dipper roller coaster.  

As the day continues, you’ll see the unique character of Pacific Beach and encounter lively supporters who will help carry you from one mile to the next. Be sure to snap a photo at the John Lennon mural, Bird Rock Viewpoint and Kate Sessions Park.  

When you return to camp for the end of your second day, you’ll have a delicious meal waiting for you, followed by the moving Honor Ceremony where we recognize and share stories of those impacted by breast cancer.  

Day 3  

Our final day begins at Bonita Cove, a peaceful spot with stunning views of Mission Bay. This secluded area is always a great place to reflect on your reason for walking the 3-Day. 

You’ll continue toward the Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute, where scientists work to protect marine life and promote ocean conservation. Close by, you’ll approach SeaWorld San Diego. History enthusiasts will enjoy the Mormon Battalion Historic Site, a step back in time to San Diego’s early days.  

The 3-Day journey will wrap up near vibrant Little Italy and end with the Finish Line Festival at Waterfront Park. As the sun starts to set on your final day, be sure to take a moment to reflect at the Closing Ceremony on the amazing impact you made during your 3-Day journey.  

We can’t wait to see you in San Diego!
