The Mt. Baldy Run-to-the-Top is Owned by San Antonio Canyon Town Hall. The 62nd Annual Event is Being Planned for Labor Day, September 6, 2027 in the Angeles National Forest.
Public Service Announcement
On September 7, 2026, during the Mt. Baldy Run-to-the-Top, about 100 full water bottles were left on the summit of Mt. Baldy for runners who had not yet reached the finish line and for hikers who arrive on the summit without water. The race acknowledges that leaving the bottles was a violation of the USFS Special Use permit. The race further acknowledges that the presence of the bottles may have lessened the “wilderness experience” for hikers. In keeping with “Leave-No-Trace” principles, namely for the proper disposal of waste, going forward, the race will “Pack it in, pack it out.” We will ensure that no water or any other race-related trash is left in the forest after the race is over.
Thank you, 2026 runners, for your support of San Antonio Canyon Town Hall and the Mt. Baldy community. After overhead costs, all of the race profit goes to the community in the way of programs and donations. Every donation indirectly benefits the 1000s of weekly visitors who hike, bike, and play, or even just take a scenic drive on Mt. Baldy: Mt. Baldy Fire Dept. and West Valley Search and Rescue are standing by for your safety; the Mt. Baldy Museum is open on many weekends for all to enjoy; and, your child may be attending Mt. Baldy School (PTA).
Thank you to our sponsors for your support.
And, a huge thanks to all of our volunteers because, without you, we would have no race.
