The Tahoe Rim Trail Endurance Runs celebrated its 25th anniversary with another unforgettable ultrarunning event, and a brand-new 100K race that quickly filled its 300 spots and developed a strong waitlist!
We’re especially proud of two WNC employees who took on the grueling 62.14-mile course through the Sierra backcountry. Congratulations to Construction Project Management Professor Nigel Harrison and Learning & Innovation Circulation Manager Cameron Carr for completing the inaugural 100K! πŸ‘πŸŽ‰
The event also featured the traditional 100-mile, 50K and 23K races, bringing together runners from across the region and beyond to test themselves against some of the most challenging and beautiful terrain in the West.
Beyond the miles, TRTER continues to make a difference in our community. Race proceeds support organizations and programs including local high school cross country and cycling teams, the Northern Nevada Children's Cancer Foundation, the Northern Nevada Food Bank and trail maintenance associations.
WNC is proud to be the home of this incredible event and grateful to Race Director George Ruiz, the dedicated volunteers, runners and supporters who make it possible year after year. Here's to 25 years, and many more to come! πŸŽ‰πŸ”οΈ
