Broken Arrow introduces Elite Housing Program

March 26, 2022 by Diane Frederic Leave a Comment

If you are familiar with the Broken Arrow Skyrace- and how could you not be- you know how community-minded this race has become for the Truckee-Tahoe area. Every year the race designates a portion of their proceeds to select groups, and in the past this has included the Julia Millon Scholarship Fund as well as […]

Race Report by Angela Stark: Castle Peak 100K

August 28, 2021 by admin 2 Comments

In the winter of 2021, while there was still snow on the ground, I decided I needed a new challenge. I stumbled on the Castle Peak 100K website while looking for spring/summer ultras in California. I thought it was an auspicious sign when I saw the event was being held on my birthday and I […]

Tahoe Rim Trail Unsupported Fastest Known Time Report

July 14, 2015 by Mike Tebbutt 3 Comments

As I began writing this report on Friday, July 10, my friend Sean Ranney had just taken off at about 5AM that morning for his own attempt at what was still my Unsupported FKT on the Tahoe Rim Trail at that time. I am finally back at the computer to finish my report 4 days later and […]

Western States 100 – DPMR’s showed the Unafraid spirit!

June 30, 2015 by Nicholas Martin 3 Comments

The Western States 100-mile Endurance Run did not disappoint this year. The race always promises heat and competition, and it wasn’t short on either. Temperatures were in the 90’s in Auburn, which means the canyons were smoking, and the competition was fierce, especially on the women’s side. In the front of the women’s pack, first time WS […]

2015 Western States 100 Preview – UNAFRAID! edition

June 22, 2015 by Nicholas Martin 2 Comments

The buzz is in the air, the snow has melted from the trail (didn’t take much this year), and the tapers are on… it’s time for the Big Dance. Year after year the Western States 100-mile Endurance Run boasts arguably the deepest US field of female and male 100 mile runners. At 5:00 AM on Saturday morning the feeling in […]

Lake Tahoe Ski Cirumnavigation

February 28, 2015 by Mike Tebbutt Leave a Comment

Author’s note: The following piece was taken from two posts on The Backcountry’s Forum that I wrote  back in 2006 and 2007, detailing  my and Sam Skrocke’s second and third attempts of the first bivy-less ski circumnavigation of Lake Tahoe via a high route. We finally succeeded on our third attempt in a little under 61 […]

Overnight Trail Running Lake Tahoe

August 17, 2014 by Chris Cloyd 3 Comments

Philosophy and Preparation Distance running has never seemed all that appealing to me: monotony, pain, and a lack of grand scale (as a road cyclist, the ground you can cover in a single is much greater and, as a result, that undertaking has always taken preference with me). Living at Lake Tahoe, however, has redefined what possibilities […]

Lake Sonoma 50

April 19, 2014 by Pete Broomhall 1 Comment

Lake Sonoma 50 Race Report The Start I finally got a chance to tackle Lake Sonoma this year. I was signed up last year but injury knocked me out of the race just days before. It has become one of the most popular Ultras in the country and I was excited to toe the line […]
