Registration Update We know many people are on the fence about registering for races- until we all get a clearer picture of life in upcoming weeks and months. Therefore, we have delayed the registration price tier increase until May 1st for all race distances. We continue to prepare for a great day on the Black Mountain trails in June, and our primary goal remains to provide a great experience for every runner on race-day. We will continue to monitor the City's recommendations, make changes as necessary, and keep you all updated. Thanks for your continuing support. Stay healthy, and best of luck in your training! https://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=71985

Our awesome sponsor Run Newport has been hard at work on a new website! Contact them directly to take advantage of our "San Diego Running Group" discount. Help them by helping yourself...stock up on new shoes for when those trails open up again! #runnpt www.runnpt.com

Attention Black Mountain Entrants and Followers: We hope that you are all safe, healthy, and doing the most you can during this trying time. In the meantime, we want to keep you updated on our race event status. We are still preparing in every way for the races to happen on June 20th. We are full speed ahead unless the City is forced to rescind our permits. Any changes to our Training Run schedule will be posted at least a week before the scheduled training run. You will be the first to know if there are changes to our race day schedule. In the meantime, use your creative juices to get in some good miles, workouts, and time spent on weaknesses. Stay healthy and always feel free to reach out about the Black Mountain Trail Races. Thanks for your support!
