Carlsbad is ranked one of the top ten places to live in the US for 2016 by Men’s Journal, describing it as a “coastal resort city that is an athlete’s playground.”
Runners in the Carlsbad Marathon
There are a host of reasons why this is so, and if you spend any time here, or live here like I do, it becomes pretty obvious.
Great weather allows outdoor activities year-round – biking, hiking, surfing, golf and so much more. Plenty of people ride bikes to work, and you see lots of runners and walkers out during the day along the beach and in the corporate centers, too
46 miles of hiking trails and miles of bike lanes along major and secondary roads
3 lagoons (Batiquitos, Agua Hedionda, Buena Vista), one of which allows boating, ski-doos, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking; all offer trails for running and walking
The beautiful pacific and 7 miles of beaches allow for numerous activities – surfing and surfing competitions, walking and running, wind-surfing, swimming, stand-up paddle boarding, beach volleyball (you’ll find nets along the Carlsbad coast on several beaches)
Golf at the Park Hyatt Aviara Resort, the Omni La Costa Resort and Spa, The Crossings at Carlsbad, and Rancho Carlsbad
Several premiere athletic events – The Carlsbad 5000 (world’s fastest 5K, this Sunday April 3); the Carlsbad Marathon; the Tri-City Triathlon, to name a few
Carlsbad also has a large collection of sports and sports-related companies (Callaway Golf, SKLZ, Reef Apparel, Superbrand surfboards, among others).
Whether you are a professional athlete or amateur, Carlsbad is a top-notch athlete’s community in a beautiful setting.
