The 2025 Tahoe Trail Run is a qualifier event for the Life Time Leadville Trail 100 Run presented by La Sportiva.

There are a minimum of 35 LT100 qualifier coins up for grabs at each of the Tahoe Trail Run. Coin winners MUST BE PRESENT at the awards ceremony to receive their entry. Coin winners must complete and pay for their registration for the Leadville Trail 100 Run during the designated time offered. All registration fees for the LT100 Run are non-transferable and nonrefundable.

The 35+ coins at each event will be distributed based on overall and age group performance, as well as an event lottery at the end of the awards ceremony. The performance based coins will be distributed to the top overall performances, as well as the top performances of each age category. If an athlete elects to not accept their slot, the coin will “roll down” to the next top athlete in their category. In the event that slots are not claimed after the roll down, they will be reallocated to the event lottery. The event lottery is available to all official finishers. Names will be drawn from all eligible and interested athletes to distribute these coins until none remain.

Only the 50K distance serves as a qualifier for the LT100 RUN.
