Joe Diehl is an entrant in the fabled "Triple Crown" of endurance runs in 2025. At age 76, Joe would become the oldest finisher of the Triple Crown. The three events are:

The Tahoe 200
The Bigfoot 200
The Moab 240

100% of all donations will be granted to the Northwest Indian Housing Association's Youth Scholarship Program, recently renamed in honor of the late Brook B. Kristovich, chairman for over 20 years, and a close friend of Joe's. The program provides scholarship funds to needy Native American youth. To learn more, go to:

This website allows you to help support Joe in his noble effort by donating a fixed amout in advance on a "per mile" basis in anticipation of a successful effort.

Note that a $2 per mile donation ($1,280) will ensure that at least one student will be awarded your gift (the minimum scholarship award is $1,000).

^{The FINE PRINT: Please note that while there is no guarantee that Joe will succeed due to the vicissitudes of wilderness trail running 640 miles in three events, over 15 days/nights in extreme conditions. Joe is a SURVIVOR, facing a prostate cancer diagnosis - which has not deterred him from attempting from what his cancer care team says, is his DESTINY as a model for other men in his age group. All proceeds will still be donated to NWIHA's program no matter the outcome ("finish, live or die" policy). Joe has run countless 5k's, 10k's and marathons since 1963; he set various high school cross-country and track records. He has in recent years competed in many marathons and has completed 6 ultramarathons to date (though attempting many more).}
