San Diego 200
The San Diego 200 is a 200-mile endurance event held October 23–26 in Escondido, California. The route circumnavigates San Diego County and passes coastal sections, urban corridors, rugged inland trails, mountains, and desert landscapes. The course spans a variety of terrain and requires navigation across populated and remote areas.
Runners are given 82 hours to complete the full distance. The event emphasizes self-reliance and planning; participants are responsible for their own crew, logistics, and decision-making during the multi-day effort. All runners are required to have a crew. Crews may meet runners anywhere it is safe to do so. The first 100 miles travel through populated areas where self-support at gas stations and stores is possible. The second 100 miles become progressively more rugged with limited options for water and supplies, making crew support critical in the latter half.
The field for this edition is limited to 24 experienced ultrarunners. Previous completion of a 200-mile race is highly recommended; applicants without a 200-mile finish but with other exceptional accomplishments may be considered. Applicants will be wait-listed and admitted if they meet the requirements; slots are allocated on a first come basis. Entry fees are $750 plus fees for early entrants and may increase to $950 plus fees on April 1 if slots remain. Event profits will be donated to a Native American charity. Registration closes October 2 at 11:59 PM PT. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
