Many visitors to the Eastern Sierra are familiar with the breathtaking journey from Lee Vining up Tioga Pass to Yosemite National Park by car, but here is your once-a-year chance to experience Tioga Pass on foot. Join other high elevation athletes for the 31st Annual Tioga Pass Run on Sunday September 11, 2011. All proceeds from the run benefit the Mono Lake Committee.

On your mark, get set, and go! More than 100 athletes crossed the starting line during last year's run.

Each year we need volunteers from 7:00am–12:00pm to staff support stations, help record times, and cheer the runners on. To volunteer, please contact Run Director Alana Levin.
