Great beautiful run in Reno, Nevada, along the Truckee River. This 10k was well marked and fun. To…read morerun. Pretty much flat course except for the last two miles which has a gradual climb. Lots of people dressed up in costumes and Wookiee enjoying the day. They do award prizes to top finishers and top finishers in age category. This run is not only for those who want to contend, but for everyone who wants to come out and enjoy great company and see the lovely changing of colors in the Fall. The run starts at the Brewers Cabinet and ends at their production facility on White Fir Road. The best part-- you get a beer at the finish line. They even have a special beer made for the run called the Dirty Wookie!

I've been coming to the races for years! It is one of three money making weekends for Reno. So…read moreexpect hotel rates to be 3 to 4 times higher than their standard rate. Some spectators bring their RVs and use a dedicated lot (no hookups) for a fee that is outside of the airfield. You can't see the races from the RV lot so plan on still paying to get in. You used to be able to pay for food and merchandise with cash or cards. Nowadays, you can only pay with a card. I believe you can still pay with cash or card for your entry ticket though. Years ago, the entertainment was non-stop. Nowadays, there are definitely some "dead air" periods. General Admission doesn't get you into the pit area. That's an extra fee. After the races are done for the day, you can go in the pits with your GA ticket. There's a fee for parking too. I also believe there are a few shuttles that run from downtown Reno or a couple casinos. Overall, the aviation entertainment is top notch. The fastest group warbirds has dwindled over the years as it cause a lot of money to run these aircraft. At this year's races, there was a jet racer crash. When this happens, activities end for the day. Always a good time here as long as a tragedy doesn't happen.

We only went for the second time this year, last year, being the first time. It's obvious what a tight knit community the pilots and other people that work with them are! It makes us see them more as people, and not pilots of those annoying airplanes. I guess going and watching actually humanizes them. We'll miss it.

When you take away all of the difficult parts: the distance, electroshock, etc. - it can no longer be labeled with the same name that prides itself as being tough. That personal rant aside, Tahoe 2016 was not executed well. Early packet pick-up was great. 1 star. Cage crawl was great. 1 star. Here is why I will not be participating in any more TM events: The line to pick up your bib the day of was a consistent 30 minute wait, or more. My buddy couldn't arrive the day before, so our team had to wait for him to get through that before we could start. The line to start was massive. Dear TM, you cannot sell 12,000 tickets and not enforce wave start times. That should be a no brainier but they continue to do it, year after year. By the time we started, we had stood in sunny B.O. starting corrals for over an hour. The provided safety pins were of the cheapest possible quality. They didn't stand a chance through obstacles. I lost 2 of mine, right away. The provided water tastes heavily of iodine, bleh. As we turned the trail at mile 3, we saw masses of people (again) standing around. It was the "line" for King of the Swingers, my spectator friend told me the line was taking approx. 45 minutes to get through. I had already stood in 2+ hours of lines and ran 3 miles. I was angry and hungry. My team decided to wait in that line, I knew I couldn't do it and finish happy (or healthy, as I am anemic) - so, I opted to run the rest of the course solo. I was able to complete some of the obstacles I wanted to. I was the "lucky" one. As I crossed the finish line, it began to rain. Because my team waited in the King of Swingers line, they were cheated out of all of the other obstacles. Officials closed them down, due to the thunder. There were no mile markers. I had studied the map & obstacles, so I had an idea of where I was. Everyone was trying to find staff or guess. When you are running 11 miles, you want to know how far you have gone & how much there is to go. I would give Coach 5 stars, but he is awesome with or without Tough Mudder. Unless you have a personal assistant following you around with food & water, I wouldn't recommend this race anymore. The finisher t-shirt is so see through, it's almost mesh.

Tough Mudder Northstar at Lake Tahoe Date: Saturday, July…read more13th, 2013 Our Start Time: 10:20am. Logistics: 1. Premium parking for $20.00 (bought online in advance). We arrived early for parking and registration. This is the best parking you will get. Avoid the shuttles (long lines). 2. Walked to event is one mile away to gondola. Gondola to event is 30 minutes. 3. Register - bring ID, left the electronics and cell phones in the car. The Course (12+ miles with 19+ Obstacles): 1. Climb over eight foot wall before the starting line. This obstacle does not count. And yes, there were some people that got hurt already and had to bow out already. Be careful here! 2. First six miles are uphill. Yes, uphill. Trail running is ideal here. We hiked 80% of the course. Conserve your energy (you're going to need it). 3. List of obstacles: 3.1. Glory Blades 3.2. Kiss of Mud 3.3. Artic Enema 3.4. Just the Tip 3.5. Log Jammin 3.6. Lumber Jacked 3.7. Trench Warfare 3.8. Electric Eel 3.9. Berlin Walls 3.10. Kiss of Mud # 2 3.11. Boa Constrictor 3.12. Funky Monkey 3.13. Mud Mile 3.14. Hold Your Wood (0.25 mile uphill) 3.15. Walk the Plank 3.16. Cage Crawl 3.17. Warrior Carry 3.18. Everest 3.19. Electroshock Therapy (face it... run for dear life... everyone at the finish line is watching.... earn your "balls" and "get it over with" .... there's no way out of it...don't skip this one!!!). 4. Failed: Lumber Jacked (the logs tore through my left arm). 5. Miles 6 to 11 is downhill. 30% are steep (take your time). Notes 1. If you're uncomfortable about an obstacle, you can skip them. 2. We stayed at rental condo the night before to get acclimated to the altitude. 3. This is the "toughest" Tough Mudder event because you're up against the Black Diamond Mountains at Lake Tahoe. You will have a hard time breathing in the air at the summits. Yes, you will earn your bragging rights here! 4. This is not a timed event. This is team building and bonding with your team. 5. Everyone is there to help everyone out. We helped many participants that were doing this alone. 6. Listen to the emcee at the starting line. Everyone takes a knee and builds a connection of brotherhood - very inspirational to remove all your fears. Here's our team video: https://www.youtube.com/... Sorry, the GoPro camera battery died out before the Electroshock Therapy obstacle. * MUCH RESPECT TO ALL THE PARTICIPANTS THAT ARE PREPARING FOR THE SEPTEMBER 2013 TOUGH MUDDER EVENT. I HOPE MY YELP REVIEW HELPS. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions. This is a well sought after event!!!

The instructors you find with NASTC are at the highest levels nationally and internationally. These are the instructors that TEACH the instructors! I started with NASTC as a weak intermediate skier having tried several other highly touted ski "camps". The instructors at NASTC took the time to really dig into the reasons I wasn't progressing (physical fitness, focused equipment choices, fear on challenging terrain) and helped me set up the building blocks for real success. I made so much progress in my first week with them that I immediately booked a second course. I've been skiing with NASTC every winter since (and in some of the most beautiful locales in the world: St Anton, Portillo, Chile, Verbier, La Grave!). NASTC helped me develop from a "blue groomer girl" to a confident skier that doesn't think twice about tackling black and double black terrain. If you are looking for real, measurable improvement in your skiing, don't think twice. NASTC is the real deal.
