Description
Due to the devastating effects of the Eaton Fire and subsequent rains on the Mount Wilson Trail (MWT), this year's 2025 Mount Wilson running event has moved to Saturday, October 4, 2025 and will offer a road 5K Run/Race/Walk, a Kids' Fun Run, the High School Challenge, vendor booths at Kersting court, a free photo booth, and a beer garden -- all tying into Sierra Madre's Octoberfest celebration. This event aims to unite our community and raise awareness about the crucial repairs needed to restore the MWT to its race-ready state.

Our History: The Mt. Wilson Trail Race is one of the oldest trail races in California, the Mt. Wilson Trail Race takes you 8.6 miles from Kersting Court in Sierra Madre to Orchard Camp and back. The elevation gain is over 2160 feet on a winding course that changes regularly due to fire, earthquakes, and erosion. The original path, first used by the Gabrielino Indians, was dug out by Benjamin "Don Benito" Wilson in 1864.
