San Luis Mountain Run March 1, 2009 9a.m.
The Ruggedly Fun 10k

This beautifully rugged trail race begins at Laguna Lake Park and circumnavigates Cerro San Luis. The 6.2-mile course is laced with fun single track and fire road. With an elevation gain of over 1000 feet, this is no ordinary 10k.

Set against Laguna Lake with dramatic views of the coastal range and an overlook of historic downtown San Luis Obispo, the San Luis Mountain Run is becoming one of the most anticipated annual sporting events on the Central Coast. 

Trail Runner Magazine's Trophy Series
This year's race is part of the Trail Runner Magazine's Trophy Series. As the world's largest off-road race schedule, this North American points series features over 100 specially selected trail races held between March 1 and September 30, 2008.
