The Mammoth Rock Race 10km is a signature event of the Eastern Sierra.   Started in 1998, a small gathering of local runners put their fitness levels to the test, and founded a Mammoth tradition.
The race is mostly on gorgeous single track trail that winds uphill to bring runners under the majestic Mammoth Rock.
The High Sierra Striders and the High Sierra Triathlon Clubs have jointly organized the race since 2005 and are proud keep the tradition going.

COURSE:
The course starts from Mammoth Creek Park, then onto Sherwin Creek Road (4WD) where it leads to the single track Rock Trail.  The first rest stop is located at the trailhead.  Heading south and then west, the trail winds it’s way steeply uphill and then levels off to a gradual incline and eventually under the Mammoth Rock.  Photos will be taken from this point.  The single track trail ends on Old Mammoth Road (back to asphalt).  The second aid station is located here.  Now, west of the start the course winds fairly steeply downhill and then to a gradual downhill finally back to the park. 

There will be a post-race breakfast served for all racers as well as raffle prizes, age-group prizes and first place overall awards.

DONATIONS:
Keeping the tradition going, this year we at the Mammoth Rock Race 10km will donate a portion of our proceeds to the Mammoth High School Cross Country teams.  In years past we have donated upwards of $1500.  This monetary donation went to new uniforms and helped pay for traveling expenses of both boys and girls cross country running teams.  Our goal this year is to increase the donated amount two fold.
