Pirate's Cove 6/12/24 hour Run/Hike

Pirate's Cove 6/12/24 hour Run/Hike takes place in San Diego County, California, starting on March 19, 2027. Rather than fixed distances, the event is timed: you can enter the 6-hour, the 12-hour or the 24-hour format, on trail, and cover as much ground as you can within your window. Start times are not listed in the available data.

Timed races reward patience over speed. The runners who cover the most ground are usually the ones who start slowly, eat and drink on a schedule from the first hour, and keep their stops short rather than sitting down to recover. Since walking counts here as much as running, the 6-hour makes a genuine first ultra attempt. For the 24-hour, plan for darkness, a change of shoes and socks, and a drop bag you can reach each lap.
