County allocates money for Mt. Baldy Run-to-the-Top

| |
The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors Tuesday approved a $2,000 allocation to provide law enforcement services for the 44th Annual Mt. Baldy Run-to-the-Top on September 7.

Second District Supervisor Paul Biane requested funding to support the Sheriff's Department's role at the race because it promotes tourism in the mountain community, according to a news release.

The Mt. Baldy Run-to-the-Top features a 4,000 foot elevation gain by foot.

"Many of the visitors who come for the race find that Mt. Baldy offers more than just great skiing and snowboarding," Biane said in a news release. "The community's hiking and biking trails, scenic lookouts and other summertime activities are also great tourist draws."

The race is hosted by San Antonio Canyon Town Hall and proceeds are used to support organizations and programs such as the West Valley Search and Rescue Team, the Mt. Baldy Volunteer Fire Department, the Canyon Litter and Graffiti Program, Citizens on Patrols and the Mt. Baldy Fire Safe Council.
