Tahoe 200 Mile Endurance Run

2014 will be the inaugural Tahoe 200 Mile Endurance Run open to members of the Tahoe Endurance Club

The first ever 200 mile single loop mountain event in the United States, the Tahoe 200 circumnavigates the sparkling, clear blue waters of Lake Tahoe from the Tahoe Rim Trail. The route occasionally detours off the TRT to explore aspen meadows, rock gardens of giants, small impossibly blue lakes, thick canopied forests, and long ridge lines with stunning views. The course is nothing less than magical.

The Tahoe 200 aims to create an unique and unparalleled experience for ultra distance trail runners who want to have an adventure of a lifetime. The race is a non-stop traverse of the lake, with numerous aid stations and sleep stations to support your epic run. All finishers receive a belt buckle and artistic finisher’s print commemorating their accomplishment.
