Kings Beach runner sets TRT record

A Kings Beach man now holds the record for the fastest time to complete the Tahoe Rim Trail without support.

Mike Tebbutt, 44, started from the Brockway trailhead on June 25. He returned there 54 hours and 17 minutes later.

The previous record of 58 hours, 43 minutes was set in 2013 by J.B. Benna.

Records for fastest assisted run around on the 165-mile trail are also kept.

The Tahoe Rim Trail Association does not have an official record book for these accomplishments, but they are tallied on a website.
