Imagine AC100 Without Baden-Powell

Baden-Powell, with Angela Shartel, 2013. The AC100 is asking the public’s support for the race’s survival as a trail race. At stake is the iconic portion from Vincent Gap over Mt Baden-Powell. Which could disappear.  Their email came to my attention: This past December, the San Gabriel Mountains Foothills and Rivers Act was presented by Congresswoman Judy Chu.

We need your help to reach out to your congressional representative to help get AC100 trail access and prevent the race from becoming a road race.

Copy and paste the following letter (add your name/title)
