Active Fall Events in Tahoe
It is officially what we call the “shoulder season” here in Tahoe.
A time when most kids are back in school, temperatures are cooling but
it’s not time to hit the slopes just yet. This is my favorite time of
year and an especially good time of year to be outside enjoying nature. There
are many opportunities to join in on some organized events and competitions
around the area this fall. My favorite is the Great Trail Race that takes you
on foot or bike from Truckee to Tahoe City through the National Forest and
parts of the Tahoe Rim Trail. The route is similar to the winter’s Great
Ski Race.
There are quite a few adventurous activities in the area to choose
from in the near future.
Sierra Stetina's Race
Northstar
September 22-24, 2017
Join Peter Stetina for a journey to Nevada’s scorched desert from
Lake Tahoe’s crystal waters and back. A road rally of timed segments,
stocked aid stations and breathtaking vistas brought to you by the creators of
Levi’s GranFondo. There are 5 timed segments, some flat, some hilly.
This is your moment to throw down and show what you are made of.
Outside of the segments there is no penalty to relax, snap photos and be
social.
The Truckee Marathon
Truckee
September 24th, 2017
Starting in Historic Downtown Truckee, this event has some home
town soul. Course options include the Truckee Marathon, Truckee Half

mountain town as you run to Donner Lake, through Old Greenwood and Gray’s
Crossing.
