What Makes It Great

The Leona Divide 100K covers 62 miles of Pacific Crest Trail terrain in the mountains north of Los Angeles, climbing 10,000 feet through chaparral, oak scrub, and high-desert ridgelines. The course shares much of its route with the 50M, but extends further south toward Agua Dulce before looping back through the same PCT corridors. Crews and pacers (100K runners only) can access Spunky Edison with a mandatory 1.7-mile hike-in. Finishers under 20 hours earn a Western States Endurance Run qualifier.
