San Pasqual Valley Trail Race
Escondido, United States • 21 Feb 2026
The San Pasqual Valley Trail Race, held in Escondido, California, offers a scenic running experience through San Diego's wine country. Participants can choose from three distances: a relatively flat 10K, a challenging half marathon, and a demanding 20-mile course. The longer distances feature an out-and-back route that includes summiting Raptor Ridge twice, rewarding runners with stunning views of vineyards and orange groves. The event is limited to 450 runners and includes a unique finish line perk—a free wine tasting from local vineyards. The half marathon also serves as the final championship qualifier, making this race both picturesque and competitive. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
