Granite Chief Out & Back
We are back at Palisades Tahoe this week to soak up the trail running energy that descends on the valley during Broken Arrow and TrailCon and to run up Granite Chief! On Wednesday 6/24, meet us at 7AM by the Olympic Village Event Center to start this 7 mile out and back. After the run head over to the village for all things trail running at TrailCon! If you've registered for the event, there will be demos, brand experiences, and panels. If not, you can still enjoy an awesome vendor village! Either way check out the fun and feel the energy.
These are intended for everybody (dogs too!), and we hope to continue to grow our running community, provide access to brands, information, and gear to help you perform your best, or just enjoy running more, and share knowledge about local trails. Please join us and encourage your friends and family to do the same!
In case they need a little encouragement, check out the run via Strava!

WSER Escarpment Run
Yes, you read that right, 4AM. Join us early this Saturday, 6/27, to run up to Watson Monument and cheer on the Western States Endurance Run runners at the start of their adventure! This is an incredibly communal and high energy experience, and we encourage everyone to brave the early morning to participate.
Don’t forget to bring anything you think you might need to hang out for a bit — water, layers, hat, sunscreen, etc.
