Built for the hard stuff. If the course gets mean, this is who you send into it.
One of RTO's most iconic and challenging legs. Tackle a gorgeous but demading climb into the Sierras, leaving Nevada and entering California. There's an aid station halfway through, along with breathtaking views and rewarding summits. Most of this leg takes place on dirt roads. Due to its popularity and difficulty, this leg is timed and scored individually. You must carry water with you, there will be no van support. Run smart, your health and safety are more important than a fast time. Do not underestimate this leg!
This quiet and easy leg enters the city of South Lake Tahoe and ends in the Tahoe Keys area. Please remain quiet while in these neighborhoods.
This leg exits Carson City and heads for Virginia City. Tackle a short climb and take a visit through Mound House, NV. The community of Mound House started as a toll house between Carson City and Virginia City in the late 1860s, and got its name from mounds of gypsite in the area.
