Triathlon
Road and off-road, sprint through half — including the one that used to be XTERRA.
Three triathlons: Donner Lake in July, the Tahoe Off-Road Triathlon (which was XTERRA Lake Tahoe for years), and the Lake Tahoe Triathlon at Sugar Pine Point over the last weekend in August. Between them they cover sprint, Olympic, half and aquabike, plus a kids race at Donner.
Our triathlon events are sanctioned and insured by USA Triathlon. Relay teams are an option at most of them — two or three people, one leg each. Every swim runs wetsuit-legal water with full kayak and personal-watercraft cover and certified divers on the course.
