Coffeebar Reno and Sunshine Tahoe are pleased to host this celebration for the Tahoe Rim Trail Association (TRTA), their Trail Challengers and the sponsors that have helped to ensure the success of this new and rewarding program.
This year over 2,300 miles were traveled by the 452 Trail Challenge members on the 165-mile Tahoe Rim Trail. Sixteen sponsors helped make the Tahoe Rim Trail Challenge possible these past two years, and on Monday, September 22, 2014 these sponsors will be celebrated as well as the thirty-third anniversary of the Tahoe Rim Trail Association (TRTA). Members, sponsors and those interested in learning more about the TRTA are invited to join us for this fun evening.
