About the race
October 23–26, 2026 in Escondido, California, the San Diego 200 is a 200 mile endurance event that circumnavigates San Diego County and covers coastal sections, urban corridors, rugged inland trails, mountains, and desert landscapes. Participants have 82 hours to complete the full distance. The event emphasizes self reliance and planning; runners are responsible for their own crew, logistics, and decision making during the multi day effort. All entrants are required to have a crew, and crews may meet runners anywhere it is safe to do so.
The first 100 miles travel through populated areas with options for resupply at gas stations and stores, while the second 100 miles becomes progressively more rugged with limited options for water and supplies, making crew support critical in the latter stages. This edition revives the event after a hiatus and is limited to 24 entrants for the reborn year. Previous completion of a 200 mile race is highly recommended, though other exceptional accomplishments will be considered. Early bird entry is listed at $750 plus fees and taxes; the entry is intended to cover basic event costs, a finish buckle, and a donation, with profits donated to a Native American charity.
