Devil Mountain Run Scheduled For Sunday In Danville

DANVILLE, CA — Once again, Danville is preparing to conquer the infamous Devil Mountain Run, a series of runs and races taking place Sunday.

The most challenging and famous is the Mile of Truth race, where world-class athletes compete to run up an incredibly steep uphill mile. The fastest man and woman will win $600 each, though all winners must be members of the Pacific USATF to be eligible. Winners of different age and gender groups will each win $100.
