100 Miles - 1 Day - Trail Ride
Entries now open! This year’s Virtual Event starts on Wednesday, April 19th – and will run for 100 days until Sunday, July 30th, 2023* – as the riders of the Traditional Tevis Cup are finishing their own physical journeys** under the Tevis Moon!

The trail between the Patent Road Fire Break (westward extent of the fire) and Dardanelles Creek is now clear and in good shape.
Find out more about what got done – and come join us in the canyons in April and May.
Tevis Ride Management is keeping a close eye on the snow level and snowpack at elevation. At this point we are still planning to use the traditional trail on the published date.
As a back-up plan, we are considering an alternate start/route – similar to the start/route used in 2017.
Entries for this year’s Ed Ride (July 7th-9th) are live! The Ed Ride is aimed at riders wishing to participate in the Tevis Cup Ride in the future. This year, riders will enjoy a night ride to Michigan Bluff to eat ice cream; complete the CA Loop on Saturday, followed by speakers in the afternoon; then ride the Canyons from Robinson Flat to Chicken Hawk on Sunday. This year auditors are also welcome for the Saturday afternoon speakers.
Is this your year to cross the mountains, to check that epic Tevis Cup One Hundred Miles One Day Ride off of your bucket list?
Is it time for you to traverse the Western States Trail that was used by the indigenous people, then the gold-seekers, and eventually Wendell Robie many years later?
Due to large amounts of snow, the upcoming trail work day has been regretfully cancelled. At this point, the March 11th/12th days are also in question because the weather pattern looks like it will last another week or so. Please check the website closer to the event.
Western States Trail Stewardship has announced five days in March and April to do dirt and rock work on the trail after the Mosquito Fire. This work will be done on either CA Loop (west of Foresthill) or in El Dorado Canyon (east of Michigan Bluff).

Entries for the Virtual Trail 2023 are expected to open in March. This year’s event will begin April 19th, allowing entrants 100 days to complete the distance – finishing up under the same moon as the date of the actual Tevis Cup Ride on July 29th. Watch the website or our Facebook Group – Tevis […]
We are confident the Ride will happen this year!
Although the USFS has officially closed the Mosquito Fire area through the end of 2023, they have been strong partners in getting the necessary work done to ensure that the trail is ready for both the Western States Run and the Tevis Cup in 2023.
The trail teams were able to get some great work done before the weather turned. They have been hard at work in El Dorado Canyon, as well as on the California Street section. Volunteer work has been postponed until the weather improves, but please consider signing up to help out once things dry out.
Saturday, December 3
6-11 p.m.

Saddened to report Larry’s passing.
Craig Thornley (WSER Run Director) and John Catts (our shared trail liaison) hiked the burn earlier this week and had this report.
Local resource YubaNet.com published this report regarding the Forest Service BAER team who are assessing federal lands burned in the Mosquito Fire, including those traversed by the WST.
With the announcement of the WSTF Action Plan, many supporters of the Western States Trail have expressed interest in helping with trail repair and upkeep. We’ve been touched by offers of time and money. We can use the help and would love to have it.
So, let’s get it done!
The WSTF BOG joins the entire endurance community in grieving the accidents that occurred at this year’s Ride. We are committed to reducing the likelihood of future accidents and improving potential outcomes. To that end, we have identified two key areas on which to focus our time and resources.
