![]() ![]() I’m pretty sure this was probably due to running the path in the later afternoon though, so you should be in luck with the Squaw Valley Half Marathon as the race begins pretty early at 8:00am. My only hesitation with the Truckee River Path when I have ran it was the warm temps increased most of the bug activity and I had the unfortunate opportunity of having a mouth full of gnats. It is a nice flat run along the Truckee and with the remaining portion of the course running out and back through the valley, the scenery should spoil any runner. I have personally had the pleasure of running Leg 11 on the RTO and I wouldn’t pass this up. For those familiar with Leg 11 of the Reno Tahoe Odyssey, you know this route is a beauty as the majority of the course is in the same area that runs along the Truckee River Path next to Highway 89. Starting at the Village at Squaw Valley, the Squaw Valley Half Marathon does an out-and-back course on a paved pathway through the Squaw Valley area and part of the Truckee River Path. It may even be a unique experience for all those skiers interested in what the Squaw Valley resort looks like during the off-season, if you’re not familiar with some of the exciting summer activities it has to offer. This event looks to promise some beautiful scenery from a not so far off destination near Lake Tahoe and Truckee, CA. Please feel free to share if you’re thinking of running it too. I know I’m excited to try it out! If you want to register, here is the link. I’m thinking this one will be pretty amazing. Hope to see everyone come out and enjoy the first annual Rock Tahoe Half Marathon. Soo… if the beautiful East shores of Lake Tahoe and running through Cave Rock aren’t enough to get you excited and you just want to collect some more running bling, this is your race. Participants will receive a “fancy shmancy finisher race medal along with a sweet finisher race shirt you’ll want to rock everywhere”. The Hard Rock Hotel will even have a pool party at the finish line, so runners can enjoy a nice relaxing swim afterwards and decompress after their race. ![]() The Hotel is offering race expo festivities the night before as well as a discounted 2-night stay package for the weekend race event. ![]() It is also being hosted by the Hard Rock Hotel, which recently just opened in January of this year. I’m pretty excited about this race since it’s the inaugural event and the course follows a part of the lake that isn’t frequently incorporated into the amazing Tahoe running events that are typically offered. A stroller category is being offered in addition to the individual running categories, Shuttles will also be offered the morning of the run, so you don’t need to worry about driving up to the start line the morning of the race. In fact, you will have the ability to run through Cave Rock and explore the newly constructed bike path through Round Hill Pines, Nevada Beach, and Rabe Meadow. There will be plenty of epic scenery along the way as this area of Tahoe doesn’t fall short compared to any other parts of the Lake. The event begins at Spooner Summit and finishes at the brand new Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Lake Tahoe at Stateline in South Lake Tahoe. Runners will have the opportunity to enjoy a nice point-to-point downhill course that drops 1,000 feet in elevation along Highway 50. The race is set to be held on Saturday, June 20 th and presents a beautiful run along the Nevada side (East side) of Lake Tahoe. This year will be the first annual Rock Tahoe Half Marathon presented by Epic Tahoe Adventures and Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Lake Tahoe.
