Located at beautiful Lake Hodges in Escondido, California, the Del Dios Trail Race 50k, Half Marathon, 10k, and 5k is a 100% dirt trail course with 1300 feet of elevation gain.

Trail Runners, Scenic Views. Offering views of San Diego’s most beautiful lake, Lake Hodges, this half-marathon course is amongst the most scenic of races in California. Featuring dirt service roads and well-maintained single-track trails, runners should also expect some level of challenge and technicality throughout.

Starting at Lake Hodges Boat Ramp Lot, this out-and-back course kicks runners off along Mission Road and Coast to Crest Trail until they reach the first turnaround point at which point they head back along the same roads in reverse direction.

It’s then a turn onto Lake Hodges North Shore Trail heading toward Bernardo Mountain, the largest major hill in the course. Runners will ultimately find themselves on a separate section of the Coast to Crest Trail before turning around, back onto Bernardo Mountain Trail, and finally back toward the finish line at Lake Hodges Boat Ramp Lot. With limited aid stations throughout the course, this event encourages participants to come prepared to self-hydrate during the race.
