Thousands of runners threaded through central San Diego neighborhoods Sunday morning for the America's Finest City Half Marathon, one of the region's signature summer races, generating rolling road closures across much of the city's core grid. Participants and spectators filled streets that will later yield to a different kind of crowd: Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan headline a concert at Petco Park tonight, while the Rady Shell at Jacobs Park hosts a classical performance along the waterfront simultaneously.
The convergence of events makes the downtown and Gaslamp Quarter unusually busy even by summer standards. Drivers heading near either venue Sunday evening were advised to build in extra time. Out in East County, where the marine layer that softens the coast never quite arrives, temperatures were already pushing toward 85 degrees by mid-morning — a reminder that San Diego County contains multitudes within a single August day.
