SAR Wild Run is a fundraising trail event for Fresno County Search And Rescue held at Shaver Lake. The starting area is 1/4 mile north of the intersection of Dinkey Creek Rd and Fishing Club Rd on the south side of Shaver Lake. The site includes meadows, forests and streams.

Distances and formats offered:

• Half Marathon: 13.1 Miles, uses 5K and 10K courses, loops toward Dorabella.
• 10K Trail Run: 10K, 20 point race in CLASSIC Runner of the Year Series.

Course notes describe the 5K beginning with a descent to the water followed by a mile long scramble of switch backs along a mountainside. The half marathon uses portions of the 5K and 10K courses and then follows trails toward Dorabella in a loop before rejoining the 10K course.

Participants receive a technical event shirt, a unique medallion, chip timing, and a barbecue prepared by the Fresno County Sheriff's Search and Rescue Team. The virtual option includes mailing of the finisher medallion and event shirt within two weeks after the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
