SPECIAL SAFETY NOTE

Lake Tahoe is an Alpine Lake at 6200 feet of elevation, and we suggest practicing smart mountain safety. Plan to check weather conditions for race day temperature and winds. Plan to dress appropriately. We will email each participant if additional safety measures and important information are required.

Athletes rescued from the water will be dropped off at the closest convenient lake public access (unless immediate medical assistance is required), and the athletes will be responsible for their own transport from that moment on.

In an emergency rescue, paddle craft could be left afloat in the Lake.

PARKING

There is free parking at the event site. Navigate to Watermans Landing, in Carnelian Bay, and along the streets in the neighborhood.

COFFEE, BREAKFAST, AND LUNCH

Tahoe Watermans Cafe is located on the shores of Lake Tahoe and offers a healthy organic menu with breakfast and lunch served all day, a coffee bar, beer, and wine, and offers exclusive access to a public beach, free parking, a public beach club facility, and the beach is dog-friendly (one of the only "dog beaches" in the Lake Tahoe area).

REFUND

Except for wait-list transfers, entries are non-refundable and non-transferable. If we do not have paddlers on the waiting list willing to accept a race entry, then, unfortunately, we cannot offer a refund. If the race is canceled due to extreme weather, fire, or some other unforeseeable event outside of our control, WE CANNOT OFFER REFUNDS, and a credit for a future event will be issued.

WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO IN LAKE TAHOE

HIKING

Home to miles upon miles of breathtaking Sierra Nevada wilderness, hiking and exploring trails on foot are among the best ways to access the untouched beauty of North Lake Tahoe.

If you’re looking for a little uphill assistance, check out Northstar California for a gondola ride up the mountain to the perfect picnic spot along with a variety of easily accessible hiking trails, or The Village at Squaw Valley, where you can climb over 2,000’ on the Aerial Tram with 360° views of Lake Tahoe and the High Sierra.

And for those looking for some extra adventure, explore Squaw Valley’s most iconic rock face, The Tram Face, on the all-new Tahoe Via Ferrata routes operated by local guide service Alpenglow Expeditions.

BIKING

Lake Tahoe biking offers some of the best views of North Lake Tahoe. Best seen on two wheels, choose from miles upon miles of road biking paths to nationally-rated mountain biking trails offering panoramic views of the Lake.

The Northstar California Bike Park leads the gravity-born downhill, cross-country, and freeride industry with the largest lift-served bike park on the West Coast. The park has nearly 60 percent beginner and intermediate trails and is ideal for learning and growing. In contrast, more advanced trails, like the iconic Livewire, offer experienced riders a range of technical challenges and a smooth flow.

Or experience the renowned 14-mile Flume Trail’s breathtaking lake views. Although those afraid of heights are forewarned, the ride takes place at 7,000’ to 8,000’ in elevation, with over 1,000’ of climbing in the first four miles truly exhilarating.

DINING AND SHOPPING

Historical Down Town Truckee is everyone e's favorite place to stroll in historic downtown Truckee, where the train whistle, birds, art galleries, and patio dining scene ease you into a relaxed state of mind. Foodies will find world-class culinary options spanning just a few short blocks. History buffs can take in the historic downtown tour.

With a veritable bounty of delicious local brews and dining options around the region, there is no shortage of things to eat, drink, and enjoy in North Lake Tahoe. Discover what trail and brew combos are available with an interactive map and video series that points out all the hotspots at North Lake Tahoe Ale Trail. And the new North Lake Tahoe Rum Trail

MUSIC

All summer long, Tahoe’s peaks and valleys are alive with the sound of music. Almost every night in the summer starting in early June, Tahoe visitors can catch live music at various epic locations. Events run from June to September and vary from free music on the beach to world-class music festivals in the mountains. The music is fantastic, and the views can’t be found elsewhere!
