This Sunday in Danville: Devil Mountain Run

Sunday, May 6 marks the 40th anniversary of the popular Devil Mountain Run in 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 the speedsters as well as those just wanting to get out with their dogs and walk. Everyone is welcome! The (mostly) flat and fast 10K course will give runners a chance to really 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. The USATF Certified Mile of Truth will be run in six separate heats. 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.

Proceeds from the 40th anniversary Devil Mountain Run benefit Discovery Counseling Center of the San Ramon Valley.
