Tioga Pass Run
12.4 miles—only one hill!

Join the camaraderie of the Tioga Pass Run: 3,200 feet of elevation gain over a 12.4-mile-long course along the shoulder of one of the most scenic highways in the country. Proceeds from the run benefit the Mono Lake Committee.

The 2012 Tioga Pass Run was held on Sunday, September 9, 2012 and was a record success. 128 people registered and 118 participants turned out for the 32nd annual run!
