San Diego 200 Reborn!
San Diego 200 Endurance Run
When & Where
October 23–26 • Start: 6:00 AM PT • Finish Window Ends: 4:00 PM PT
Escondido, California
The San Diego 200 is a 200-mile endurance event that circumnavigates San Diego County, showcasing an extraordinary range of terrain including coastal sections, urban corridors, rugged inland trails, mountains, and desert landscapes. It is a demanding multi-day undertaking designed for experienced ultrarunners seeking a true test of long-distance foot travel, resilience, and strategic execution.
This edition represents the rebirth of a legendary San Diego endurance challenge. After a hiatus, the San Diego 200 was revived by the last two finishers of the original event, runners who completed the full course together and experienced firsthand everything the route demands—physically, mentally, and logistically. Having lived every mile, every low point, and every breakthrough, the current organizers are uniquely positioned to preserve the spirit of the original event while thoughtfully shaping its next chapter.
The San Diego 200 is intentionally uncompromising. Participants have **82 hours** to complete the full distance, requiring consistent forward progress, disciplined pacing, and careful planning. The event emphasizes self-reliance, preparation, and respect for the environment, with runners responsible for their own crew, logistics, and decision-making throughout the journey.
This is not a beginner event. It is intended for seasoned ultrarunners who understand what it means to move efficiently over long distances, manage fatigue and sleep deprivation, and adapt to changing conditions across multiple days. Those who line up should expect a challenging, deeply rewarding experience guided by organizers who have truly been in their shoes.
