Mt Wilson Trail Race

This is an 8.6 mile course that is mainly run on a path no more than 3 feet wide. It features an elevation gain of over 2100 feet, and is not for the faint of heart.

The race is approximately 4.3 miles up then right back down on a rocky dirt path. Only 300 racers are allowed to enter.
If you wish to test yourself to see what you are made of, check with Shannon for entry forms. THIS RACE WILL SELL OUT, SO IF YOU WANT IN, YOU MUST REGISTER ASAP.

Even if you don't want to run the race, Team CrossFit Academy offers free Mt Wilson Trail Race training every Saturday at 7am at Kersting Court in Sierra Madre. The training takes you up the peak a bit further each week and alternates with speed work every other Saturday. This training is OUTSTANDING. It will not only improve your overall conditioning as a runner, it will also prepare you very well for the upcoming Camp Pendleton Mud Run.

Check out these pics of Monday's "Juno" (based on the CrossFit Benchmark, "Jackie") from the 8:30am class.
