Important Update

Our March for Babies celebration is still on, but it looks a little different! We are rapidly preparing for a new, virtualized event that will be fun and engaging for everyone.

March With Us

Experience a feel-good morning in beautiful Balboa Park at the San Diego March for Babies. Designed for all ages and abilities, this family-friendly walk brings together strollers, friends, families, and teams united for a powerful cause.

Our scenic 1.5-mile loop takes you across the iconic Cabrillo Bridge, offering picture-perfect views of one of San Diego’s most beloved landmarks. 

Looking for a longer challenge? Simply complete the loop twice for a 5K walk, all at your own pace.

With music, kids’ activities, community partners, and an energizing event-day atmosphere, March for Babies is more than a walk it’s a celebration of hope, community, and families coming together.

March one loop. March two. March for something that matters.
