The Tahoe Rim Trail Endurance Runs, scheduled for July 20-21, will commence and conclude at Western Nevada College’s John L. Harvey Field. The event, known for its tagline “A Glimpse of Heaven … A Taste of Hell,” offers ultradistance runners a challenging course.
“The participants were so blown away and impressed with the baseball stadium for a venue,” said TRT Race Director George Ruiz after last year’s event. “It was so nice to operate there. It’s by far the best venue we’ve operated out of and the runners raved about it.”
Competitors will engage in races spanning 100 miles, 56 miles, and 55 kilometers, with elevation gains reaching up to 22,000 feet from Carson City to Marlette Lake before returning to Carson City. Both shorter distance events have already reached their participant capacity.
