Mt. Shasta 5 Mile

Over 700 athletes race together over a fast and flat 3,600 foot elevation course with snow-capped Mount Shasta in the background. You will see the entertainment and smell the food the first mile and hear the cheers from the thousands of walkers. Champion racing athletes from Northern California and Oregon in all categories will be there. Beautifully carved hardwood trophies by Mark Duden are awarded to the winners three deep in each category. The course is open for one hour to complete the five miles, and then the Southern Pacific trains come rumbling through. Medals will be given to all finishers.
