Truckee Dirt Fondo
Welcome to Truckee, where the Tahoe National Forest, Donner Memorial State Park and gorgeous Lake Tahoe are at our doorstep. A rich alpine environment supports mountain plants and wildlife, a place that Native Americans, the Donner Party, and early settlers called home and now you can too - for a day, a week or a lifetime. Truckee Gravel features three different route distances from 30 to over 100 miles in length. Starting in the beautiful, outdoor oriented community of Truckee, California, our race sprawls northward into Tahoe National Forest.
We expose competitors to long, relatively well-maintained gravel and dirt roads with some pavement interspersed and even a smattering of single track at the end. This year the long course has been greatly extended and brings you all the way to the tiny town of Sierraville after reaching the summit of Yuba Pass.
