About the race
The San Diego 200 is a 200 mile endurance run held in Escondido, California, that circumnavigates San Diego County across coastal, urban, trail, mountain, and desert terrain. The event is scheduled for October 23–26, 2026 and offers a fixed overall time limit of 82 hours to complete the full distance.
The race emphasizes self-reliance and planning. Runners are responsible for their own logistics and crew support throughout the course. All participants are required to have a crew; crews may meet runners in any location that is safe to do so. The first 100 miles pass through populated areas with more service options, while the second 100 miles becomes progressively more rugged with limited water and supply points, making crew support especially important in the later stages.
Field size for this reborn edition is limited to 24 entrants. Previous completion of a 200 mile race is highly recommended; candidates without a prior 200 may be considered if they have other exceptional endurance results. Applicants may be placed on a wait list and admitted if they meet the stated requirements. Early bird entry is offered at a stated fee of $750 plus fees and taxes through May 1 for this edition.
Event organizers state that net proceeds will be donated to a Native American charity and that the entry fee covers basic event costs and awards. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
