The air quality looks awful today.

The race promoters statement that "There is no fire burning anywhere close to Mt Baldy."

Seems a little --well----uh----ignorant.

But then who knows --it is 2 days away---- one good rain may solve this problem.

Completely closed.  Looks like the Baldy run is dead.

You're massively right.   Laughing  

Doesn't the run start in Manker Flats?  I guess they could re-route to Stockton Flats, but Stockton doesn't have much in the way of infrastructure.

A large portion of the race course is in the ANF.

I guess a closed forest trumps bad air quality.

It's not looking like a go. Sad

FWIW: My interpretation of the ANF closure order - Events with a Special Use Permit are allowed unless the permit is revoked. According to the Run To the Top website, the run is still a go.

In contrast, the Angeles Crest 100 Mile Endurance Run (Sept 19) also has a Special Use Permit but it was revoked earlier this week. Therefore, the run was canceled. Makes sense as 40-50 miles of the trail has burned and access to the remote aid stations towards the end of the run is non-existent...
