The Peak

Julian, United States • 12 Jul 2025

The Peak is a challenging trail running event held near Julian, California, featuring 50K, marathon, and half marathon distances. The course primarily follows single-track trails with stunning mountain views, including a climb up Cuyamaca Peak, the second highest point in San Diego County. Runners face a demanding 2,200-foot ascent early in the race, followed by steep descents and significant elevation changes totaling around 10,000 feet gain and loss for the longer distances.

The 50K includes an additional loop before rejoining the marathon route for the return climb. The half marathon covers the same peak ascent via the Conejos Trail, finishing with a fast descent. The event offers a rugged, scenic mountain running experience. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
