I regret to inform you that the 50K 100K and 100 Mile races will not be held this year due to a major backcountry project in Spoon Lake Nevada State Park. Due to the reconstruction of the Marlette Dam and the flume pipeline this summer, Spooner Lake Backcountry will be closed to the public. Without permitted vehicle access to the backcountry we are unable to construct and host our famous aid stations.
I have exhausted every option and there is no way to guarantee that the 2025 TRTER races can proceed in July. This organization takes great pride in the quality and care we put into every detail of this event and it is heartbreaking to cancel due to circumstances beyond our control.
THE GOOD NEWS
Yes, there is GOOD NEWS! Instead of the 50K, 100K and 100 Mile events, you are invited to a Trail Running Party on Saturday, July 19th, 2025! Several shorter races on the east side of the range will be offered and the party will go on. Races will start and finish in the John L. Harvey Baseball Field at WNC with a fun finish line party at the Ultra Lounge with live music, food truck, Hoch Family Creamery ice cream and Beer!
Information and course details will follow soon with registration for the races opening February 1st on UltraSignUp.
I have delayed making this announcement until all avenues were explored and all alternatives exhausted. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope you can join us for a Trail Running Day of Celebration on July 19th!
Please keep TRT Endurance Races on your calendar — next year we plan on an even better TRTER!
George Ruiz – Race Director
