2017 Race Calendar: Life is too short to choose ordinary trail races
“Somebody ought to tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying.
Then we might live life to the limit every minute of every day.
Do it, I say, whatever you want to do, do it now.” — Michael Landon

The Tahoe 200 is the largest 200 mile race in the USA and second largest in the
world, find out why! The race is a full circumnavigation of Lake Tahoe using mostly
the iconic Tahoe Rim Trail, rated as one of the top trails in the world! The first ever
200 mile single loop mountain race in the United States, the Tahoe 200
circumnavigates the sparkling, clear blue waters of Lake Tahoe from the
Tahoe Rim Trail and the Crystal Basin. 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.

Washington State. The race starts at Mt. St. Helens running through the
desolation zone of this active volcano, over long ridge lines, high cliffs, bagging
peaks, with views of some of the biggest volcanoes in Washington State:
Mt. Adams, Mt. Rainier, and Oregon's Mt. Hood. The route is 205.8 miles with
