Tahoe 200
Qualifier status per the 2026 lists
Founded in 2014 by Candice Burt as the first non-repetitive 200-mile race in the United States, the Tahoe 200 follows a 200.4-mile loop circumnavigating Lake Tahoe on the Tahoe Rim Trail — alpine single-track through aspen meadows, rock gardens, and exposed ridgelines at elevations between 6,200 and 9,700 feet, with 32,093 feet of gain. The 105-hour cutoff across five days demands sleep management; three staffed sleep stations and 12 full aid stations support runners through four nights. In 2025, 166 finishers completed the course, with Kilian Korth winning in 52:40.
