Welcome to the Tahoe 200
2026 Lottery registration
June 14th to the 28th
The Tahoe 200 is an incredible journey around the largest alpine lake in North America. The route traverses the sparkling, clear blue waters of Lake Tahoe from the Tahoe Rim Trail, occasionally detouring 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 route is nothing less than magical.

At this time the course for the Tahoe 200 will be considered the out and back version which is in the runner manual. However, the Forest Service will evaluate the return of the original loop course each fall.
The decision will be based on the progress of the forest mitigation work that will be taking place throughout the summer. The sections within the Tahoe Basin are ready, while the more remote sections in the Eldorado NF are still being worked on..
Ultimately we will not have an answer until the fall but the Forest Service has asked us to apply for the original loop course along with the out and back course. If the Forest Service approves the original loop course in the fall we will run the loop course the following year..
