About the Race

7,700 feet of trail running elevation at 7,400 feet above sea level… Can you dig it?

This course is a scenic alpine adventure in the High Sierra of Northern California. Three loops of alpine trail running delight takes you to the bottom of Thunder Mountain and across the stunning vistas that surround the Lake Tahoe Basin.

Not for the faint of heart.
