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 Half Marathon, and a challenging 20-mile race. The longer courses feature a demanding 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 race serves as the final championship qualifier for the half marathon distance, combining competitive spirit with a picturesque trail atmosphere.
