Del Dios Trail Race
Del Dios, billed as the Race of the Gods, is a trail running event held at Lake Hodges Boat Ramp in Escondido, California. The event is organized as the 13th annual edition and takes place on January 24, 2027. The venue area is closed to the public during the event and vehicles entering the gated area must display a parking pass on the dashboard; passes are distributed by the organizer before the event.
Courses run on dirt service roads and single-track trails and are described as 100% dirt and out-and-back in layout. Elevation gain varies by distance and is reported in a wide range depending on the race. Aid station availability also varies by course; listed counts include three aid stations for the 50K and one for the half marathon, while the 10K is listed with none.
This event is a Championship Qualifier and offers multiple distances:
- 50K
- Half Marathon
- 10K
- 5K
The Hercules DemiGod Challenge is an optional, single-day challenge that requires completing the half marathon, then the 10K, then the 5K in that order within a five hour total time limit. Participants receive separate marked bibs for each distance and a finisher medal for each race plus a DemiGod finisher medal when all three are completed.
