About the race
The San Diego 200 is a 200 mile endurance run in Escondido, CA held on October 22, 2027. The course circumnavigates San Diego County and passes through a wide range of terrain, including coastal sections, urban corridors, rugged inland trails, mountains, and desert landscapes. The event unfolds over multiple days and emphasizes sustained forward movement and long distance foot travel.
Participants have 82 hours to complete the full distance. The event emphasizes self-reliance and careful planning: runners are responsible for their own crew, logistics, and decision making throughout the course. All runners are required to have a crew. Unlike most 200s, crews may meet runners anywhere it is safe to do so.
The route’s first 100 miles travel through populated areas where runners can access gas stations and stores and may self support. The second 100 miles become progressively more rugged, with limited options for water and supplies, making crew support especially important in the latter half of the course.
This edition marks the revival of the San Diego 200. The current organizers are the last two finishers of the original event and position the race as a continuation of the original endurance challenge with experience-based stewardship of the route and logistics.
