Tahoe Rim Trail to launch outdoor challenge

The inaugural Tahoe Rim Trail Challenge will officially launch on National Trails Day — June 1.

The Tahoe Rim Trail Association has selected six scenic points on the Tahoe Rim Trail. Participants will hike, bike, snowshoe, ski or ride horseback to each of the destinations and receive invitations to select experiences designed exclusively for Trail Challenge members.

The official kick off is at Van Sickle Bi-State Park in Stateline. The challenge will go through the end of the year.

Registration begins May 15 online.

Cost is $55 for new TRTA members (includes $35 individual annual TRTA membership), $20 for current TRTA members.

All participants will receive an inaugural Trail Challenge T-shirt and access to everything related to the program including exclusive admission to the members-only website where people will track achievements, share pictures as well as access GPS waypoints for the six destinations.
