SoCal XC Running Camp 2026 takes place at 56570 CA-74 in Mountain Center, California on July 20th. The event features a 2-mile running course and starts at 3:00 PM. Entry fees range from $130 to $175. Mountain Center sits at elevation in San Diego County's backcountry, so plan accordingly for the afternoon heat and terrain. This format works well for runners looking to get volume during a summer training block without committing to a full marathon or half-marathon distance. Book accommodations in Mountain Center or nearby communities early, as the area has limited lodging options. The afternoon start time means you'll have the morning to rest and prepare before heading to the venue.
