Grand Slam and Triple Crown of 200s: AZ 300, Tahoe 200, Bigfoot 200, and Moab 240
About the Event
The Grand Slam and Triple Crown of 200s events are set to take place across various locations including Cougar, Washington, United States on a series of dates throughout the spring of 2027. This year's event includes AZ 300 in Arizona, Tahoe 200 around Lake Tahoe, Bigfoot 200 near Cascade Mountains, and Moab 240 in Utah. Participants can expect to face challenging terrains with a mix of single-track trails and varied elevations at each location. The race starts early morning on clear days when the trail conditions are firm but slightly soft underfoot, providing both traction and some cushion for runners' feet. UV index during this period is expected to be low at 2.8, making it ideal for long-distance running without excessive sun exposure. The Grand Slam of 200s began as a series in 2027 that challenges ultra-runners with four distinct races stretching over the course of several months and across diverse landscapes. This series is not just about endurance but also exploration; each race offers unique terrain, weather conditions, and scenic beauty, making it an adventure for any serious runner. The Grand Slam includes all three events of the Triple Crown plus AZ 300 in Arizona, while the Triple Crown focuses on Tahoe 200, Bigfoot 200, and Moab 240. Each race is point-to-point or single-looped courses that avoid repetitive loops and out-and-back routes, ensuring a fresh experience for runners at every turn. Registration for both the Grand Slam and the Triple Crown of 200s opens on May 1st through to May 31st in Cougar, Washington. Runners who register during this period can secure their spots without entering lotteries and enjoy discounted fees compared to individual race registrations.
