From their press email:
TrailCon, presented by On, today released the complete schedule for its 2026 edition, revealing three days of programming that bring together the biggest names in trail running, endurance sports, and outdoor culture for an unprecedented gathering at Palisades Tahoe, California. The event runs June 22–24 and is free and open to the public.
I’m a bit bummed to miss the first few hours on Monday – I’ll be only flying into Reno that afternoon. I had been under the impression that the first day was going to be a sort of optional. But I’m most excited about the ‘Lowa Dry-Athalon’ on Tuesday afternoon:
Developed in partnership with the U.S. Biathlon, the Dry-Athlon reimagines the classic biathlon format for the trail running world—swapping snow for singletrack and skis for trail shoes.
The event invites all attendees to compete in teams of four in a high-energy relay that tests both speed on the trail and composure at the shooting range—using laser rifles, with no live ammunition or real weapons involved.
What a fun “activation” to bring to this event. Love it.
