Rescheduled Training Run - San Diego 100

Pioneer to Pioneer -
We will run from Pioneer Mail up and over Champagne Pass, dropping to Pine Creek road (BOO PAVEMENT) and then up Noble Canyon, the Crux of the Race and then back along the PCT to Pioneer Mail. This combines the section from Pioneer Mail to Penny Pines 1 and crossing Sunrise Highway to Penny Pines 2 to Pioneer Mail, which comes later in the course. This allows us to have a loop and preview 2 portions of the race, if not necessarily in sequential order. We will have aid available at the bottom of Noble Canyon, which is known as Hammer’s Hideaway after long time captain Steve “Hammer” Cunningham who passed after the 2019 race. Pour a little tailwind out for a great guy when you go through during the race and check out the small sign we've put there honoring him. His sister, widow, and best friend will be heading up the station in his honor this year. When you finish, look for some kind of festivities at Pioneer Mail for finishing what many believe to be the hardest section of the race! 

There will be light refreshments and an adult beverage or 2 for you at the finish.

Heads up: If you drive out via the 8 East, it looks like both the exits for Pine Valley and Sunrise Highway will be closed due to construction. Your map app may redirect you, but if not: you will want to take Exit 40 for Highway 79 north, and then follow that as it transitions to Old Highway 80 through Pine Valley, which will then take you to Sunrise (adding maybe 10 mins to your drive).
