Local Trail Race Champ Making Room For Competition
Have no fear. Pevsner has not given up racing for good and is hoping she will be back at the head of the pack next year. But for this, the 100th Anniversary of the first trail race, Pevsner is seven months pregnant and taking it easy.
She's not skipping the festivities however. This four time local champ will be on hand to watch daughter Julia, 3, run in her first kids' race, and cheering on friends, former competitors, and husband Bill in their early morning assault up the mountain. Coincidentally, the last time Pevsner did not come in first in the women's division she was pregnant with Julia.
Pevsner, 39, has been running the race for seven or eight years, but says that the first time she won she was absolutely shocked. In fact she was so shocked by just the idea of the race when she first heard about it that she knew she just had to get involved.
"I thought everybody was crazy that did it," Pevsner explained of why she signed up for her first Mt. Wilson Trail Race. Of course, since that first competition she became hooked, as so many runners do. And while she runs other trail and road races around the area, Mt. Wilson holds a special place in her heart. "There is something spiritual about being up on that trail."
The 2008 Mt. Wilson Trail Race will be held on Sat., May 24 at 7:30 a.m. The race begins and ends in Kersting Court at the corner of Baldwin Avenue and Sierra Madre Boulevard in Sierra Madre and winds up and back down the mountain side for almost 9 miles. Registration is required to run the race, but everyone is welcome to come out and join Sharon on the sidelines for a full-day of fun and activities. For more information contact the Sierra Madre Community Services department at (626) 355-5278.
