50 Mile Catalina Run Course
From the Race Director:
“Today is the 34th Annual Avalon Benefit 50 Mile Run!
This race is known as one of the country’s most challenging and scenic 50-milers.
No cars, no smog, just great terrain, incredible views, fascinating historical sites, a well-organized race, nice people, great food . . . and even an occasional buffalo sighting.
This is an extraordinary running experience that not only offers you a beautiful & challenging run, but also some insight into this fun historic run! This is a “BENEFIT RUN” and all the money raised (small or large) is greatly appreciated.
All of the entry fees combined, depending upon the total number of entries, barely covers the costs of putting on the race.
Therefore, the sponsor pledge sheets are the only way they raise money for their various charities.
Charities include: Avalon Hospital, Avalon High School Scholarships, the Catalina Island Conservancy, the Bill Putnam Health Care Fund and other local organizations.”
