Tahoe 200

The Tahoe 200 is a single loop that circumnavigates Lake Tahoe, starting and finishing at Heavenly's Stagecoach Lodge in Stateline, Nevada, and running mostly on the Tahoe Rim Trail, detouring off it for aspen meadows, rock gardens, small alpine lakes and long ridge lines. Destination Trail has held it since 2014 and calls it the first 200-mile single-loop mountain trail race in the United States. It is the first leg of the Triple Crown of 200 Milers, ahead of the Bigfoot 200 in August and the Moab 240 in October.

Twelve full aid stations serve the loop, three of them sleep stations and six reachable by crew, and the 105-hour limit runs from the gun, so every hour of rest comes out of it. A finish counts as a Western States 100 qualifier, which asks for the line inside 100 hours rather than the race's own 105. The same weekend runs a 100K, which starts two days before the 200 and finishes on the same trails.

A loop from Heavenly's Stagecoach Lodge in Stateline, Nevada, around Lake Tahoe and back, largely on the Tahoe Rim Trail. The 2027 route is 200.4 miles with 32,093 feet of climb and 32,077 of descent, and holds a 105-hour cutoff. The course has moved between editions for weather, ecology and wildfire, and the race now bills itself as returned to the original full loop. The 100K is 62.9 miles with 11,500 feet of climb and a 24-hour cutoff.

The 200 fills by lottery, drawn about a year ahead, with payment plans set up before the lottery opens; 2027 is sold out and a waitlist runs behind it. There is no qualifying race, and runners must be 18 on race day. The 100K works differently: it is open sign-up on UltraSignup, which opened on August 1, 2026 at $345, with no lottery and no waitlist.
