Athletes looking to get a workout on Easter should head to Santa Monica where the Happy Easter 5k, 10k, 15k, and Half Marathon is held each year on a beautiful and scenic beach path. For the rest of the weekend, there are farmers’ markets to enjoy and plenty of egg hunts and Easter events in town for families.

For example, you might check out the annual Easter Hoppening, which features bouncy houses, games, and egg hunts, or Peter Rabbit Day at Douglas Park, where families will find photo opps with the Easter Bunny, egg hunts, egg painting, and other activities.

Santa Monica is 2 hours from San Diego.
