The Mt. Baldy 5000

The Mt. Baldy 5000 On Saturday, July 11, the fourth running of the Mt. Baldy 5000 will take place on the slopes of the Mt. Baldy Resort. This is a summer mountain party for runners, hikers, and adventure seekers of all ages. The 5k course takes runners up to the Top of the Notch, where runners enjoy a BBQ dinner, music, and drinks just steps away from the finish line. We can’t promise any 5K PRs on our course, but we can promise amazing views, an unforgettable sunset, and a Saturday night adventure in the mountains! The Course The Mt. Baldy 5000 course is 3.1 miles long and it's almost entirely uphill. It's definitely a tough course (there are definitely no PRs set here!), but it's a fun course and something that runners of all ability levels can tackle. Most of the race is on fire roads and the footing is good throughout. There are great views the entire way and the course is extremely spectator friendly for any friends and family that join us. Schedule The race will start around 6:00pm. All registered runners must arrive before 5:30pm. Bag check closes at 5pm. There is also a 5pm hike that is untimed. Dinner and drinks will be served at the Notch as soon as the first runner crosses the finish line! BBQ Dinner and Afterparty Once the race concludes, runners are encouraged to celebrate their finish with a BBQ dinner, live music, and drinks at the Top of the Notch restaurant. The night will then conclude with a 15 minute chairlift ride back to the parking lot where the race started. We promise that this will be one of the most unique and special race afterparties that you've ever experienced. Please note that the BBQ dinner must be purchased in advance, and can be selected as an add on when you register for the race.
