The Triple Crown of 200s is three 200 mile races in just four months. The series was created to highlight the most scenic and non-repetitive 200s in the USA.
Each step is a unique exploration of some of the most challenging and stunning terrain in the USA. You will never have to do more than one loop, and there are very few out-and-backs.
Registration for the 2027 Triple Crown and the Grand Slam is open May 1 through May 31, or until the event sells out.
Registering for the Grand Slam or Triple Crown of 200s bypasses the individual race lotteries. Once the special registration closes, runners will need to enter the individual race lotteries for a chance at the Grand Slam or Triple Crown.
Finishers of the Grand Slam and Triple Crown receive a special, custom award at the end of the race season.
All events in the Triple Crown of 200s are organized by Destination Trail, a company that has been organizing 200+ mile races for 8 years, beginning with the Tahoe 200 in 2013. The company is inspired by runners and owned and managed by ultrarunners.
Destination Trail provides well marked courses, a medical team, live tracking monitored 24/7, and aid stations with real food, including vegetarian and vegan options. Swag and awards are handmade in the USA.
Courses are non-repetitive and include as much single track as possible, with no running in circles or out-and-backs just for extra miles. Destination Trail has one of the highest return rates in the industry despite having the longest distances.
The Triple Crown is made up of three non-repetitive 200 mile trail running courses in the USA. They are either point-to-point or single loop courses featuring a plethora of single track trails and lots of elevation gain. They are located in Lake Tahoe (Tahoe 200), the Cascade Mountains (Bigfoot 200) and Moab, Utah (Moab 240). The Grand Slam is the Triple Crown and the Arizona Monster 300 in one calendar year, beginning with the Arizona Monster in March or April.
Cougar is an unincorporated community and former town in Cowlitz County, Washington, United States, about 50 miles northeast of Vancouver on State Route 503. It lies near Yale Lake and is the nearest community to Mount St. Helens. The climate is temperate and wet, with mild summers and cool, rainy winters, so summer and early autumn are the best seasons to race.
