Dixon Lake Trail Races
Dixon Lake Trail Races take place at Daley Ranch in Escondido, California, with event activities staged from El Caballo Park, 3450 E. Valley Parkway. The event date is December 12, 2026, and the field is limited to 300 runners.
The event offers these distances:
- 10 Mile - climbs Stanley Peak; 985 ft gain.
- 10K - out-and-back; 672 ft gain.
- 5K - out-and-back; 100% dirt terrain.
Courses are 100% dirt, combining single-track and dirt service roads in out-and-back, hill-climbing formats. The 10 mile course reaches the top of Stanley Peak and provides a 360 degree view from the summit. Organizers state there are no aid stations on course and no access to aid during the races. Course limits are listed per race, including a 2.5 hour limit for the 10 mile and a 2 hour limit for the 10K.
Packet pickup is scheduled the day before at Fleet Feet San Diego. Race parking is mainly at the trailhead lots, with overflow parking about a quarter mile away, roughly a five-minute walk. There is no kids dash at this event due to the nature of the trails. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
