Cambria’s Pinedorado weekend starts with running shoes: the 5K Fun Run goes off Saturday morning before the parade takes Main Street, with proceeds supporting Coast Union High School athletics. It’s a genuine community run, walkers welcome, kids welcome, and enough Morro Bay entries every year that the finish line has a distinctly bay-side accent. Run it, then stay for the parade, the Warbird flyover, and the Pinedorado grounds; it’s the Central Coast’s best excuse for a Saturday up Highway 1.
Where: Coast Union High School, Cambria
When: Saturday, September 5, 2026, morning; on-site registration opens ahead of the start
Why: Proceeds benefit Coast Union High School athletics
Start the holiday weekend at a Cambria start line, then bring the rest of it home; everything happening on this side of the hill is on the Morro Bay events calendar.
