What’s New? 

This year’s course has been reimagined with fresh obstacles and an exciting new layout designed to challenge and entertain participants of all ages. Racers will have to tip-toe over a teeter-totter, dash through the water at the Tahoe Trot, dive into a tunnel of tangled tires, climb and conquer the up-and-over wall, and try to avoid a splash down as they traverse the grip-and-slip wall. Every racer will cross the finish line covered in mud and pride, earning a medal, a commemorative t-shirt, and serious bragging rights.
