  The Tioga Pass Run is dedicated to the memory of Ferdinand Castillo, who is part of the history of the Tioga Pass entrance to Yosemite National Park. He cheered on the Tioga Pass Run finishers for the first 13 years of the Run, and is with us in our memories, reminding us to tread carefully on the delicate alpine environment of Tioga Pass.

Join the camaraderie of the Tioga Pass Run: 3200 feet of elevation gain over a 12.4 mile course along the shoulder of one of the most scenic highways in the country! The Run starts in downtown Lee Vining and finishes at the Tioga Pass entrance station to Yosemite. Car shuttles will be available to transport gear bags to the finish line during the Run and to provide participants with transportation back to Lee Vining after the Run. There will be aid stations at miles 3, 6, 9, and the finish.

Proceeds from the Run will go to the Mono Lake Committee: www.monolake.org.

Located on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, Tioga Pass is the eastern gateway to Yosemite National Park. The start line is in the town of Lee Vining at an elevation of 6,781 feet and the finish line is at the top of Tioga Pass at 9,945 feet. This run allows you to truly enjoy the beauty of Tioga Pass.

12.4 miles with 3,200' elevation gain. The event starts in downtown Lee Vining at elev. 6781, follows Tioga Pass Road, ending at the entrance station to Yosemite NP at 9945 elevation. This is the longest continuously running event in the eastern sierra (since 1980), a favorite with local ultra runners and triatheletes.

Average Rating:  
Recent Review: I'm a newby. I've done many races (more than 80 marathons + ultras) and this is the first time I've climbed up a 12+ mile hill at any altitude! Excellant course, great volunteers and support, and good after-race event.
