Kokanee Trail Runs
The Kokanee Trail Runs is a trail running event in South Lake Tahoe, California, scheduled for Sunday October 4, 2026 pending US Forest Service permits. Races take place along the shore of Fallen Leaf Lake and include multiple distances that use varied trail and road terrain. Start and finish are located at South Tahoe High School, with parking available in the high school lots. Early packet pickup is offered on the Saturday before the race at Camp Richardson Resort during Oktoberfest.
The event provides aid stations on course with water, Tailwind, snacks, and specialized hydration at the finish. Organizers request participants use reusable cups or handhelds to limit waste. Event shirts are sustainably sourced and made from 100% recycled materials; adult sizes are planned as long sleeve while youth sizes are short sleeve. Shirt orders placed after August 16 are not guaranteed preferred sizes.
Entry fees vary by distance and by registration date. Proceeds from the 2026 event will support the Nevada Humane Society and the Boys & Girls Club of Lake Tahoe. For safety and insurance reasons, headphones, dogs, strollers, and baby joggers are not allowed. The event records results and awards finishes across gender categories and age divisions from 12 and under through 70 plus. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
