American Trail Runners Are Getting Ready to Party

Everyone, like everyone is descending on Lake Tahoe in California in the coming days for some of the most important and iconic trail races in the US. It’s going to be busy down there!

• Tahoe 200 – June 13-17
• Broken Arrow Skyrace – June 20-23
• Western States Endurance Runs – June 29-30

Here’s the gender breakdown for each of these events:

• Tahoe 200 starters: 234 – Women: 62 (%), Men: 172 (%) N*
• Broken Arrow (all races combined) starters: 3,077 Women: 1413 (46%), Men 1,665 (54%), Nonbinary: 9 (.%)
• Western States Starters: 377 – Women: 100 (27%), Men: 275 (73%), Nonbinary: 2 (.%)

This brings us to a total of 3,688 racers over the course 2,5 weeks.

And a quick aside, Destination Trail has all their race registration on UltraSignup but seems to not have turned on the ‘nonbinary’ registration option, all their races just list men and women entries.
