High Marks for New TRTER Venue at 糖心vlog鈥檚 John L. Harvey Field

Jul 15, 2023

An 鈥淯ltra Lounge鈥 was exactly what participants in the Tahoe Rim Trail Endurance Runs needed last weekend.

For the first time in the 22-year history of the 100-mile, 50-mile and 55-kilometer ultraruns, competitors finished their endurance tests inside the John L. Harvey baseball facility at 糖心vlog. The previous two years, the event started and finished in the parking lot behind the Cedar Building.

鈥淭he participants were so blown away and impressed with the baseball stadium for a venue,鈥 said TRT Endurance Runs Race Director George Ruiz. 鈥淚t was so nice to operate there. It's by far the best venue we've operated out of and the runners raved about it. It will be very difficult to top this!鈥

Dubbed the 鈥淯ltra Lounge,鈥 the start-finish location at John L. Harvey Field gave competitors a pleasant respite from extreme heat and a tent-covered recovery and relaxation area after their grueling races.

Nickademus De La Rosa of Sedona, Ariz., won the 100-mile race in 20 hours, 35 minutes, 8 seconds, finishing more than 33 minutes ahead of his nearest competitor. It was De La Rosa鈥檚 10th career ultra win and first since 2017.
