TRTER 2025 – 50K & 14-Miler
JULY 19th, 2025
Registration IS OPEN
Due to Marlette Dam reconstruction and Flume pipe replacement projects, TRTER is not able to set up infrastructure in order to fully operate in the Spooner Backcountry. While we are unable to host the 100 Mile and 100K in 2025, we will host two challenging and beautiful trail runs!
The Mile 99 Interview
George spills all the details on mile 99. Listen to the Podcast.
Logistics
Race start for both the 50K and 14 Mile will be 7:00 AM PST.
Packet pick-up will open at 5:00AM race morning at the start finish area inside the John L. Harvey Baseball stadium on the Western Nevada College located at 2201 W. College Parkway, Carson City NV 89703.
The Rundown
- There will be no Friday packet pick-up.
- There are no drop bags in either race.
- There is a 10-hour absolute cut-off in the 50K! Please respect us and adhere to the 10 hour Cut-off time parameters for an official finish.
The Ultra Lounge at the finish line area will have Nevada Nosh food truck, Hoch Family Creamery ice cream, cold drinks, craft beer provided by The Fox Brew Pub, and live music by EV and the Electric Soup! We plan on keeping the Ultra Lounge vibe going until 8 pm.
TRTER will go on!
This is what we know now:
Due to Marlette Dam reconstruction and Flume pipe replacement projects TRTER is not able to set up infrastructure in order to fully operate in the Spooner Backcountry. Therefore, we are unable to host the 100 Mile and 100K in 2025.
Please join us for the ALT-50K course and a new 14 Mile course on July 19th instead.
Registration IS OPEN. REGISTER ON ULTRASIGNUP.
The ALT-50K course will be much like our planned 50K, minus the loop around Marlette Peak. Starting from the John L Harvey Baseball Stadium at Western Nevada College, the course goes up Ash Canyon road to Snow Valley Peak. From there, down the Tahoe Rim Trail to the Laxalt Junction and then a hard right onto the Capital 2 Tahoe Trail to the Bridge (Hobart 2.0 Aid Station), to the Waterfall Aid Station and back down Ash Canyon trail to the baseball stadium for a big, fun finish line party at our famous Ultra Lounge.
Mileage should come in very close to 30 miles. There will be two aid stations with only water and EFS electrolyte drink, and two full service aid station stops at approximately Mile 8 and Mile 16 (same aid station, Hobart 2.0), and Mile 23 Waterfall aid station. Then a seven mile push to the finish.
The 14 Miler will be an out-and-back from the baseball stadium up the Ash to Kings Trail to the Waterfall aid station and back to the Finish Line and Ultra Lounge Party.
Important note to consider on the 50K! Locations for the two main aid stations are in very remote, very difficult terrain to get to. There can be no drops at all! If you feel the big 4200 ft climb at the start is going to be a huge challenge for you, I highly recommend doing the 14 mile option this year. The cutoff will be 10 hours for an official finish. We will also have a 2 hour cutoff at the Kick Ash Aid Station at 3.5 miles. You will be turned around if not there by then.
Because this is a one-off year due to the closures, the goal for this year’s race is to offer a great course and have a great time at the finish line Ultra Lounge. On a normal year, our loyal volunteers and aid station captains do not have the privilege of enjoying the finish line party. As race director my intention is to have them shut down their aid stations in reasonable time and be able to come down to the finish and enjoy themselves as well. Please respect the 10 hour cutoff so we can accomplish this. If your intention is to hike most of the course, please respect us and enter the 14 mile. Be done early and have a good time at the finish.
Registration Fees:
50K – $130
14-Mile – $75
Refund Policy: No refunds on or after May 1, 2025. If you need to withdraw from the race prior to May 1, 2025, please email the RD at trter100@gmail.com.
The finish Line Ultra Lounge will be a trail running party, with foot baths, food truck, The Fox Brewery beer, Hoch Family Creamery ice cream and EV and the Electric Soup for live music entertainment. This will be a great opportunity to have a good time at the Ultra Lounge, come join the FUN!!!
