The Hotshot Half is back!! After a few years of not being able to put on the race due to covid, we are excited to announce that we are ready to hit the ground running. Race day will be April 22nd, 2023. For those of you who have never heard of us, The Hotshot Half is a 14.5 mile trail race (we like to ‘go the extra mile’) held at the Bullard’s Bar Work Center, home of the Tahoe Hotshots. The Race is held in honor of our fallen brothers and sisters and in support of their families and loved ones. Please come join us to pay tribute with some blood, sweat, tears and laughter. All proceeds from the event go towards the Wildland Firefighter Foundation. This event is for anyone who loves to have a good time with great people and enjoys a challenge, all the while supporting the community. Whether you are training for the fire season or another physical pursuit and want to stand on the podium, or you simply want to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Tahoe National Forest, come join us on April 22nd, 2023.  We will be offering free campsites from Friday through Sunday, a few miles down the road from the starting line for anyone looking to make a trip out of this awesome event.

Course:

The trail is predominantly single track! With 200+ runners, and many competing to win, our goal is to avoid a bottleneck in the first mile. If you are competing to win, start near the front of the pack, and if you are running to finish, allow these runners a berth to get out fast and establish good position before the course transitions into the Bullards Trail, which is 95% single track and passing is more of a challenge.
Again, it may be common sense, but we need to address it for runner safety and trail etiquette. If you are passing a runner, say "on your left" and please allow a foot of space for this runner to pass. The inner competitor in some people wants to "hip-check" this person off the trail, but come on, with no cash prize that would be super lame!!
