The Modesto Ridge Runners held its 41st annual race through the hills of Mineral County last weekend.

The 41st annual Modesto Ridge Runner High Desert Rally wound through the hills of Mineral County this last weekend.
With many new faces amongst the Ridge Runners, they were helped along their rally by Mineral County Search and Rescue who assist the group throughout the year with permits and routes.

The rally brings in economy to Mineral County by supporting local businesses. The group is dedicated to making the
desert a better place after they leave and along the route, pick up trash left in the desert.

No locals ran in the rally this year, but participation of those who live in Mineral County is welcome.

The rally is always the second Saturday of August.
