San Diego is located in the southwestern corner of the United States on the border with Mexico and is the second largest city in California and the seventh largest in the country. It is nicknamed "America's Finest City" due to its hospitality, beauty and ideal climate, The residents are so active outdoors that Sports Illustrated magazine once called it "Sportstown, U.S.A." San Diego's 70 miles of beaches are a haven for swimmers, surfers, divers, boaters and sunbathers.

The city attracts many visitors due its stunning coastline, near-perfect weather and multitude of attractions which include museums, zoos, and animal parks. It is the home of numerous military facilities including Navy ports and Marine bases and its port houses some of the largest naval fleet in the world, including three Navy super carriers, several nuclear submarines, and numerous smaller ships.  Local attractions include the San Diego Air & Space Museum, Sea World, San Diego Zoo and the infamous Gaslamp Quarter.

In close partnership with the city, the San Diego International Sports Council and the Unified Port of San Diego, the Red Bull Air Race World Championship will make its second stop of the 2009 season and will race right downtown on the Big Bay against the beautiful backdrop of the city. This is the third time the race will be held in San Diego. The action will take place over the San Diego Bay between Embarcadero Marina Park and Coronado Island on Saturday, May 9 & Sunday, May 10.
