For those who have ever harbored a fantasy of getting down and dirty in public, with knowns and unknowns, Saturday, Aug. 25, is the day for you and Mammoth Mountain is the place.
It is the Mammoth Mud Run—six kilometers of downright down-and-dirty, commencing on the hill in the morning and ending only when the last contestant gulps down his or her last throatful of pumice-laced mountain juice.
It is actually no joke. It is an endurance athletic event, as hyped by, among others, Deena Kastor, on her social media musings.
The “race,” as it were, is split into different levels.
Tallus was invited to be one of six vendors in the gifting lounge at the ESPYs on July 10 and 11—ESPN’s annual sports awards show, held this summer in Los Angeles, according to a recent press release.
At the two-day event, athletes, business agents and corporate clients, such as Microsoft and executives from ESPN, got acquainted with Mammoth, some having never been to the mountain resort town before.
“It was great exposure for the town,” said Tallus General Manager Craig Copeland in the press release.
The Mammoth Lakes Swim Team is finishing up another successful summer swim season, according to summer coaches Lindsay Barksdale and Teryn Falkingham.
The Sharks began practice at Whitmore Pool on May 22 and will finish up with a meet in Morgan Hill over Labor Day weekend. The team had just over 90 swimmers, ranging from 5 to 17 years old.
