San Diego 200

San Diego 200 : Escondido, California

The San Diego 200 is a 200 mile endurance event held October 23–26 in Escondido, California. The course circumnavigates San Diego County and passes through a wide range of terrain, including coastal sections, urban corridors, inland trails, mountains, and desert landscapes. Runners must manage multi-day travel across changing conditions.

The event provides an 82 hour overall time limit for completing the full distance. It places strong emphasis on self-reliance and planning: participants are responsible for their own logistics and decision-making during the event. 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 with options such as gas stations and stores, while the second 100 miles becomes progressively more rugged with limited water and supply opportunities, making crew support more critical.

This edition marks the rebirth of the event and was organized by individuals who previously finished the original course together. Entry for the reborn year is limited to 24 entrants. Previous completion of a 200 mile race is highly recommended, though applicants with other exceptional accomplishments will be considered and may be placed on a wait list. Early bird entry is listed at $750 plus fees and taxes; profits from the event are designated for a Native American charity. Registration closes October 2.
