About the San Diego Trail Heavy Half Marathon
Elevation Culture calls this one a heavy half because it runs a little longer than 13.1 miles. It shares the San Diego 50 & Trail Runs morning with a 50 miler, a trail marathon, a relay and shorter runs.
The series is cupless, so bring a bottle or soft flask. Finishers get a tri-blend shirt, a handcrafted wooden medal and free race photos.
