Founded in the 1960’s, George Whittell is a small high school surrounded by pine forests overlooking Lake Tahoe in Zephyr Cove, Nevada.
George Whittell High School's Student Council is hosting this
trail run. Come support students as they organize, plan, and host the race!
The race course will cross creeks and logs alongside many trees, rocks, and squirrels.
In addition to the 5K race, we have an 800 meter fun run for the little ones. Popsicles for all finishers in the fun run!
Runners, walkers, everyone are welcome to participate and enjoy some hot chocolate, medals, and good times!! To keep costs down and participation high, t-shirts are sold separately through the website. The shirts were designed by the students.
So sorry, but pets are NOT allowed on school property. The trail is also NOT stroller friendly unless you have a team to carry it through parts of the woods ;)

The Lake Tahoe Marathon weekend is three days of races (Friday/Saturday/Sunday), including two 5Ks, a 10K, three Half Marathons, three Marathons, and a 72-mile Ultramarathon and 4-person Ultra Relay
around Lake Tahoe.
You may register for a single race or challenge yourself to run three Marathons in three days (the Tahoe Triple) or three Half Marathons in three days (the Tahoe Trifecta). Or for a different adventure, run a Marathon on Friday, a half-marathon on Saturday, and a 10K on Sunday (the Tahoe Mountain Medley)
If you really want a challenge, register for the 72-Mile Ultramarathon fully circling Lake Tahoe (beginning Saturday night and ending with the other races); and if the idea of running 72-Miles is too much, consider getting four friends together to run around Lake Tahoe as part of a 4-person relay team (each person can run whatever segments of any distance they would like)
The Sunday races finish at Lakeside Beach in South Lake Tahoe.
Special Discounts now in place for a limited time (applied at checkout, one discount per registrant):
