The city of Sierra Madre held another successful Mt. Wilson Trail Race this morning. This was the 41st running of the race that follows the Mt. Wilson hiking trail into the San Gabriel mountains to Orchard Camp (an elevation gain of over 2100 feet) then turns around and comes back to end in downtown Sierra Madre for a total of 8.6 miles.
