Founded in the 1960’s, George Whittell is a small high school surrounded by pine forests in Zephyr Cove, Nevada. Named after the famous millionaire who had a pet lion named Bill at his Thunderbird Lodge on Lake Tahoe.
For the first time ever, George Whittell High School Student Council is hosting a trail race on October 12th of this year!
The race course will cross creeks and logs alongside many trees, rocks, and squirrels.
In addition to the 5K race, we have an 800 meter fun run for the little ones. The first 10 kids to catch the Whittell Warrior (school mascot) will receive a prize!
Runners, walkers, everyone are welcome to participate and enjoy some hot chocolate, medals, and good times!! There will be a drawing for an Outdoor Experience courtesy of Clearly Tahoe as well as a gift card from the Tahoe Bagel Company. Cool mugs for the winners and t-shirts are available as well.
So sorry, but pets are NOT allowed on school property. The trail is also NOT stroller friendly unless you have a team to carry it through parts of the woods ;)
