NEW in 2023! - The Kook Run has teamed up with "Ride Cyclery" to offer a bike valet service. Ride your bike to the event, and drop it at Ride Cyclery where they will keep it on site and secure until the end of the event. Ride Cyclery is located right at the start/finish line of the event and finish line festival. (449 S. Coast Hwy 101, Encinitas)
