San Diego 200
The San Diego 200 is a 200 mile endurance run based in Escondido, California that circumnavigates San Diego County. The course passes coastal sections, urban corridors, rugged inland trails, mountains, and desert landscapes. This edition revives the original event and is organized by runners who previously completed the course.
The event takes place October 23–26 and allows 82 hours to complete the full distance. It runs over multiple days and emphasizes self reliance and planning; runners are responsible for their own crew, logistics, and decision making throughout the course.
All participants are required to have a crew. Crew members may meet runners anywhere it is safe to do so. The first 100 miles travel through populated areas with access to gas stations and stores, while the second 100 miles becomes progressively more rugged with limited options for water and supplies, making crew support more critical in the later sections.
Entry is limited to 24 seasoned ultrarunners. Previous completion of a 200 mile race is highly recommended, though applicants with other strong accomplishments may be considered. Applicants may be placed on a wait list and admitted if they meet requirements; slots are allocated on a first come basis. Early bird entry is $750 plus fees and taxes, and profits will be donated to a Native American charity. The entry fee covers event costs, a buckle, and the charity donation.
