Pounds of Pasta will be served this Friday in preparation for the big race. The traditional pasta nosh dinner is held every year on the Friday before the annual Mount Wilson Trail Race. This year the dinner is sponsored by Café 322, which provides the pounds of pasta needed to prepare runners for the next day of strenuous running. For a mere $7 the dinner is open to anyone, not just race participants. The pasta dinner is held in Kersting Court from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
The Mount Wilson Trail Race begins at 7:30am the following morning, Sat May 29.
2010 marks the 5th year of the Kids’ Fun Run. Youth ages 3 and up will race one mile, starting at Kersting Court, running up Baldwin Ave., and back down to Kersting Court. That race begins at 7:45 a.m. for the older youths, and 7:50 a.m. for the younger youths. The race is open to any child who wants to participate. What’s more, the first 150 youth receive a free t-shirt.
As is tradition in Sierra Madre, there will be a beer garden, sponsored by Spaten West, with all proceeds donated to the Sierra Madre Search and Rescue.
The beer garden will be held in Kersting Court. And if you are thirsty enough for ale at such an hour, it starts at 9:00 a.m.
There will also be a Kids’ Art Show which will utilize old running shoes as the canvas. If you are interested in assisting with the Mount Wilson Trail Race call Adam Matsumoto, Recreation Supervisor at (626) 355-5278 or send him an email: amatsumoto@cityofsierramadre.com
