Join friends, family and fellow fitness enthusiasts on Sunday, May 5 when the popular Devil Mountain Run returns to the streets of downtown Danville. Powered by Herrmann & Cooke Wealth Management, the race includes a 5K and 10K, a free Kids’ Fun Run presented by the Danville Rotary, a Mile of Truth and the Buddi Love Dog Mile.

The 5K is perfect for both serious and casual runners as those just wanting to get out with their families and walk. Everyone is welcome - even the dog! The (mostly) flat and fast 10K course will give runners a chance to fly. Get ready to set a new PR!

If you have you ever wondered how fast you could flat out run a mile, register for the Mile of Truth, The iconic mile is unique in its ability to stoke the fire of even the most competitive runners. It’s 5,280 feet of pure, unadulterated effort. We’re excited to announce that the Mile of Truth has once again been chosen as a Pacific Association USA Track and Field Grand Prix Championship event! There will be at least $5,500 in prize purse money, which includes $3,300 for the PAUSATF and $2,200 for elites! The USATF Certified Mile of Truth will be run in six separate heats. Only elite heat participants are eligible to win prize money.

If your dog loves to run as much as you do, sign up for the Buddi Love Dog Mile. All dogs must run on leash and be under the full control of their owner. Only well-socialized dogs are allowed. Please carry a bag to pick up after your dog. People wishing to walk with their dog should register for the 5K.
