Day Runs

These trails are close enough to San Diego to make decent and convenient day runs.

In these pages you will find some nice resources for reviewing and choosing 4 wheeling runs. You’ll find trail descriptions, maps, GPS tracks and waypoints, videos, and pictures. In addition there are example run announcement texts. There is basically everything a potential run leader needs in order to put a run together.
