About the 2027 Highland Y Run
The course runs through the streets of Highland, and both a shorter and a longer distance option are on offer, so runners can pick what suits them. The route is described as scenic, which in this part of the inland valley tends to mean wide residential streets with mountain views opening up between neighborhoods.
The race raises money for the YMCA's financial assistance program, which funds scholarships for local kids and families. That context gives the morning a purpose beyond finishing times. The YMCA itself is the hub of the event, so the start area has that familiar gym-parking-lot energy, which is not a bad thing.
