Dingneng Wang

The Dingneng Wang event, held in San Diego, CA, is a memorial marathon formerly known as the PQ & GZ Trail Marathon. It takes place on the Los Penasquitos Canyon Trail, featuring a clockwise course with a total distance of a marathon (26.2 miles). The route includes a notable stop around mile 11 at Torrey Pine North Parking Lot, where restrooms and water fountains are available.

This event is unique in that it is not a race—there is no official timing, course marking, or aid stations, and participants are self-supported. Runners may choose to run any portion of the course and can have personal crew or pacers. The event honors the memory of Dingneng Wang, a beloved runner and outdoor enthusiast.
