Triathletes can select their favorite Tahoe or Truckee triathlon including the Tahoe Off-Road Triathlon, Donner Lake Triathlon, Lake Tahoe Triathlon, XTERRA Lake Tahoe — or perhaps go for the grand slam and complete all four.

For those seeking adventure set within an unforgettable, idyllic Lake Tahoe backdrop, the Tahoe City Swim, Lake Tahoe Open Water Swim and Marlette 50k & 10-Miler will deliver.

A must-try for Truckee residents and visitors is the annual Donner Lake Triathlon and Donner Lake Kids Triathlon, July 22. Participants can choose a 70.3 Half Triathlon, Olympic or Sprint Triathlon, an Aquabike competition or Duathlon. The Kids Triathlon is a non-competitive race for ages 4 – 12 on short, fun courses. A week later the Truckee Half Marathon & 5k happens featuring a stellar course throughout Truckee, including a run through historic downtown and/or onto the Trout Creek Trail with a finish at Alibi Ale Works – Truckee Public House.

Ultra-athletes can test their stamina during the Big Chief 50k and Marlette 50k Trail Run. Each race takes runners through scenic forests and mighty trees as they conquer rocky summits on the journey. Big Chief is based in Truckee (Northstar) and Marlette is based at Spooner Lake, not far from South Lake Tahoe.

“Remember that registrants are welcome to sign up for select events as a team or relay,” said Jackson. “That way they can have fun with friends and also focus on the sport that’s of most interest, or their top strength.”

Big Blue Adventure has been producing endurance sporting events in Lake Tahoe, Truckee, Olympic Valley and the surrounding area for over 20 years. These events are perfect for visitors and locals who want to run, ride, swim, or paddle, as well as anyone who’d like to play outdoors while exploring the beauty of this area.
