About this race
Welcome to San Diego's only trail race through beautiful Gonzales Canyon Open Space.
The 13th Annual event will once again start and finish at the Solana Ranch Park in Carmel Valley on the East end of Gonzales Canyon, lending itself to a flat start and finish with all the elevation gains in the middle.
The courses will feature the locally famous "Puke Hill" for the 10 Mile AND 10K.
That's right... Someone needs to race up and down the damn thing. 5K runners? Don't worry we keep it flat for you.
Don't let the coastal backdrop fool you... the trails on this course can feel like a mountain race so train like it is.
Due to new park guidelines, this event is limited to 300 runners and will sell out! So, sign up early.
This is a Championship Qualifying event for 10K and 5K distances
