Get ready for a stunning and challenging race experience at beautiful Donner Lake! The event kicks off with a 2-mile out-and-back run from the venue—just enough to get your legs moving before the climb begins. The 40K bike course takes you along scenic Old Highway 40 with a steady ascent to the top of Donner Pass (elevation gain of 1,125 feet), offering incredible views of Donner Lake and the Truckee Valley. After crossing I-80 and reaching the turnaround near Kingvale, you'll enjoy a fast, curvy descent—just don’t forget the required foot-down stop before re-entering transition for safety.

The final 6.5-mile run offers a mix of flat road, scenic trails through Donner Memorial State Park, and a few rolling hills on South Shore Drive before finishing strong at West End Beach. Expect well-stocked aid stations with water, electrolytes, snacks, and support throughout the course.
