Race Day: Saturday, May 29, 1999

Place: With its charming village atmosphere, the City of Sierra Madre sits at the base of Mt. Wilson in the northeast foothills of Los Angeles. The Trail Race begins and ends in the center of town, at Kersting Court, located at the northwest corner of Sierra Madre Blvd. and Baldwin Ave.

Race History: The Mt. Wilson Trail Race is one of the oldest races in California.  First held in 1908 when runners raced to Mt. Wilson, rested 1/2 hour, then raced back down.  Only a handful of intrepid runners dared to attempt such a grueling test.  The race was held sporadically from the first year until the late 1940's and early 1950's when it was abandoned completely.  In Autumn of 1965 it was revived and has grown over the years to its present format.  To promote the Sierra Madre Volunteer Team, the race was held in conjunction with Search and Rescue Days in the Spring of 1987. Organized by a volunteer committee, the current race is 8.6 miles in length.  The exact course has changed by erosion, fires and earthquakes.  For this reason no official record is recognized.  Since the revival in the 1960's, today's course is considered the most difficult.
