The Tahoe City Duathlon and Triathlon celebrates the natural environment of the North Shores excellent terrain, trails and blue water. The Tahoe City Duathlon and Triathlon will take place inconjuntion with XTERRA Tahoe City. The Tahoe City Triathlon is essentially the Short Course version of XTERRA Tahoe City. The openness of Lake Tahoe makes for a truly open water swim experience. Tahoe City is also home to some of the area’s most treasured mountain biking trails. The biking section starts with a strong climb, continuing on to take riders through fields of wildflowers, and breath taking sierra views. The trails are faster than they are rocky, but the climbs and elevation will test ones fitness level. The start and finish is at Commons Beach. There will be an after party so plan to have some fun after a hard day of racing.
