Tahoe Rim Trail
“A Glimpse of Heaven”
“A Taste of Hell”
Jose Castillo of Noon International ran the 50K Tahoe Rim Trail UltraMarathon race in the mountains of Lake Tahoe today Saturday July 17th. (50k about 32miles) The course runs from an elevation of 7000 feet to 8500 feet and back again, running through creeks, climbing rocks and everything else that one encounters in the outback.
In his first ever UltraMarathon race he completed the 50k in 9 hours and 20 minutes and is already looking forward to next year.
Oh yes, I forgot to mention he ran it in his barefoot shoes, EVO Vivobarefoot by Terra Plana. Now that is REMARKABLE!
It started here at 6am in the morning:
