After a one-year hiatus, the Western States Endurance Run will make its return for the 36th time this weekend.

The 100-mile run, which starts in Squaw Valley and ends in Auburn, was canceled last summer due to heavy smoke from area wildfires.

The race will begin at 5 a.m. today and runners must reach the finish line no later than 11 a.m. Sunday to be considered a finisher of the event.

According to the event's web site, about 1,500 volunteers will support the 445 registered runners making the their way through the trek.

Among those registered are Grass Valley's Peggy Davidson, Bill Hunter, Molly Star and Donn Zea.
