Billed as "A Glimpse of Heaven ... A Taste of Hell," the Tahoe Rim Trail Endurance Runs are providing the ultradistance runners with familiar starting and finishing lines for the July 20-21 event: Western Nevada College's John L. Harvey Field.
"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."
Ultrarunners compete in 100-mile, 56-mile and 55-kilometer events, ascending as much as 22,000 feet from Carson City to Marlette Lake before returning to Carson City. Both of the shorter distances have reached the maximum capacity for entrants.
Anyone who would like to volunteer for the event, should email [email protected].
