Event information
The trail starts at the shopping center on Camino Del Rio North and proceeds along city streets, past Qualcomm Stadium, the statue of Mark Twain and the San Diego Mission De Alcala, across the San Diego River and back to the start point. Mission San Diego De Alcala was the first Franciscan mission in the Alta California region of New Spain. It was founded in 1769 by Spanish friar Junipero Serra in an area long inhabited by the Kumeyaay Indians. The mission and the surrounding area were named for the Catholic Saint Didacus, a Spaniard more commonly known as San Diego.
