cans of “2022 Mt Wilson Trail Race Kölsch”, a limited 
release beer made especially for this year’s 
MWTR by RT Rogers Brewing Company of Sierra 
Madre. The beer will also be available for sale at 
RT Rogers Brewing Company beginning Saturday,
May 28th. 

Beer sales will support the Fletcher Trail Maintenance 
Fund. This is an opportunity to have great 
food and meet and greet with your neighbors and 
fellow racers ahead of the race. MWTR packet 
pickup (race number, t-shirt, and goodie bag) will 
also be available at the Friday night pre-race pasta 
dinner.
