The Master’s University is partnering with Children’s Hunger Fund to host “Run The Beast and Feed The Hungry” on Jan. 21 in Newhall, Calif.
The event is a run/walk/hike of one of the Santa Clarita Valley’s most well-known trails — “The Beast” — from 7:30 to 10 a.m. Registration is $25. Participants are encouraged to donate food from the list below, and monetary donations are also accepted.
The deadline to register is Jan. 16. You can sign up and learn more at masters.edu/beast-registration. Donations are welcome at any point during the event, but the run begins at 7:30. Registration fees include an event T-shirt.
All donations collected will go directly to Children’s Hunger Fund, a Christian non-profit that packages boxes of non-perishable food to deliver to children in need, along with a gospel presentation — a mission that closely aligns with the heart of TMU. Monetary donations to Children’s Hunger Fund can also be made online at masters.edu/beast-donate.
“Run The Beast and Feed The Hungry” is not primarily a race. There is no pressure or expectation to compete as participants make their way up the steep, 4.8-mile dirt trail (9.6 miles round trip).
“Hike it, walk it, only go part of the way if you like. It’s not timed. It’s not a competitive run,” said Zach Schroeder, TMU’s cross country and track and field coach and the event’s organizer. “It’s a chance to come out and go on a trek for a good cause.”
The address for “The Beast” is 20303 Newhall Avenue. Limited free parking is available at the Newhall Avenue/14 Freeway Park and Ride.
