The Mt. Baldy 5000

The Mt. Baldy 5000 is a 5K running event held on Saturday, July 11. It takes place on the slopes of the Mt. Baldy Resort in Mt. Baldy, California. This is described as a summer mountain party for runners, hikers, and adventure seekers.

The 3.1-mile course is almost entirely uphill, primarily on fire roads. The event organization notes it is a tough course where personal records are unlikely. The route offers views throughout and is considered spectator-friendly.

The finish line is at the Top of the Notch. After the race, runners can access a BBQ dinner, live music, and drinks at the nearby Top of the Notch restaurant. This dinner must be purchased in advance during registration. The evening concludes with a 15-minute chairlift ride back to the starting parking lot.

A separate untimed hike begins earlier in the day. Registration closes the Friday before the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
