Great Trail Race: Truckee to Tahoe City
Date
The Great Trail Race returns Saturday, September 26, connecting Truckee and Tahoe City for a scenic point-to-point race through the Sierra.
Participants can choose to gravel bike, mountain bike or trail run, with two course options available: Elite and Classic. Choose the more technically challenging Elite course for additional distance and terrain, or take on the Classic course for a rewarding ride or run between Truckee and Tahoe City.
Whether you’re racing for an age-group finish, challenging yourself to a new distance or simply looking for an unforgettable day on the trails, the Great Trail Race is a quintessential Tahoe-Truckee fall adventure.
