2026 TRAIL Tahoe Waitlist
OCT 2-6, 2024
About
TRAIL combines three separate mountain marathons over three days to create a unique challenge only 29029 could curate. This trekking adventure challenges you hike, walk, or jog 26.2+ miles each day within 12 hours. Finish each marathon to complete the coveted 3x3 — an achievement & story that nobody can take away from you.
Trail Description
The scenic mountain trails around Lake Tahoe will play host as we return to the site of the first ever 29029 TRAIL event. Each day presents a uniquely different mountain marathon course including a mix of single track and rolling mountain roads, crossing in and out of US Forest Service lands. The routes are designed to have moderate daily elevation gain and loss, and include sections of the iconic Tahoe Rim Trail. Our 24-week training program will prepare you to complete each marathon with a goal of minimal jogging required.

Yes, we include a 20-week Training Guide with your registration. This Guide is emailed on a bi-monthly basis beginning 5 months prior to the event. Our coaches have created these guides to help each participant prepare for the challenge. The Guide is a three tiered system (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced) in which the participant can choose which level to follow based on the description we provide for each. If you’re willing to put in the work, this Guide will have you ready to cover 3 marathons on your event weekend.
This varies, as everyone has a different beginning fitness level. We do know that our 20 week Training Guide will help prepare you for the challenge. We also know that at some point on the trail, the willingness to keep going becomes as much mental as physical. This is when trekking with us becomes a transformative experience for many.
Much of the experience at each of the 29029 locations is the same, but there are unique variables like average weather and terrain. Which ever way you go, a life changing weekend is waiting. Have questions? Click here to set up a brief call with our team!
