Great Trail Race

The Great Trail Race is a point to point endurance event between Truckee and Tahoe City, California, scheduled for Saturday, September 26, 2026. The event offers three participation disciplines: gravel bike, mountain bike, and trail run, all routed through Sierra trails with sections of singletrack.

Two course options are provided. The Elite course features more technically challenging terrain and greater distance. The Classic course provides an alternative route for participants who prefer a different course profile.

The event program also references schedule and shuttle information, travel and lodging resources for Tahoe Truckee, and local bike shop listings. Results, photos, and race reports are compiled after the event and made available.

The organizer lists partners and sponsors, including the United States Department of Agriculture and regional lodging partners. Volunteer opportunities and exhibitor or sponsorship options are part of the event structure as indicated by the available event sections.
