Mammoth Lakes, Calif., is a mecca for runners, from the Mammoth Track Club’s record of producing some of the top record-holders in various distances and Olympic marathoners like Deena Kastor and Meb Keflezighi regularly running in the winding trails at altitude to prepare for some of their biggest performances.

If you’ve ever wanted to run in the majestic beauty of Mammoth but couldn’t take a week away for a training camp, the Mammoth Half Marathon is the perfect way to see what running in the town is all about.

Get a firsthand look at this year’s race that took place last weekend in the video above, featuring Mammoth-local Tim Tollefson—who was the overall winner—and his wife Lindsay, who finished third overall and was the first woman to cross the finish line.
