Mammoth Lakes is a mecca for skiers, snowboarders and mountain bikers, yet the most gifted athletes in town choose to race up the hills, not down them. Set in the shadow of 11,053-foot Mammoth Mountain in the Sierra Nevada range, the town of Mammoth Lakes (altitude 7,800 feet) has a year-round population of 7,406 that includes a dozen members from Team USA. The stars in that group -- among them 2004 Olympic marathon silver medalist Meb Keflezighi and bronze medalist Deena Kastor; Olympic marathon trials winner Ryan Hall; his wife, Sara, a top 1,500- and 5,000-meter runner; and 2004 Olympic marathoner Jen Rhines -- have revived U.S. distance running.
