Event Overview
The Peak is a trail running event in Julian, California, featuring 50K, Marathon, and Half Marathon distances.
Course Details
The event involves running on mountain trails. The routes offer views and include significant climbs and descents. The main course is mostly single-track trail.
The 50K and Marathon routes involve a 2,200-foot climb over the initial 6.5 miles. They then descend 2,800 feet to the Green Valley Aid Station, which is the marathon turnaround point. 50K runners complete a short loop back to Green Valley before rejoining the marathon route for the return trip. This return section climbs back up to Cuyamaca Peak. The total elevation gain and loss for the 50K is approximately 10,000 feet.
The Half Marathon route follows part of the marathon course, climbing the Conejos Trail to Cuyamaca Peak before descending to the finish. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
