Welcome to another ActiveRenoTahoe newsletter. Here’s a recap of some great races that happened in RenoTahoe last weekend.

It was a weekend full of races in RenoTahoe... there was a triathlon, ultra running races, mountain bike races, and a relay swim. Here’s a quick rundown on all the races and top finishers:

🏃 Tahoe Rim Trail 50K and 14-Miler

Traditionally, the Tahoe Rim Trail offers a 100-miler and 100K distance but due to construction at Marlette Lake, the Tahoe Mountain Milers were only able to offer a 50K and 14-miler this year. Here are the top finishers:

🏊 🏊‍♂ 🏊 Trans Tahoe Relay Swim

One of the region’s most unique events took place on the waters of Lake Tahoe this past weekend. The Trans Tahoe Relay Swim is an 11-mile swim race that starts at Sand Harbor and finishes at Skylandia Beach. Teams are made up of six individuals. Each swimmer does a 30-minute timed segment while their teammates cruise along in a boat. Once all swimmers do their 30-minute segment, they do 10-minute segments until the finish.

The event draws participants from all over the country and it’s common to see high-level collegiate and past Olympic swimmers in the field. There were 268 teams in this year’s race. Congratulations to the top-3 overall teams:

Life Time Tahoe Trail Mountain Bike and Run

Life Time Fitness hosted their annual Tahoe Trail Mountain Bike race at Northstar on Saturday. There were two distances: a 42-miler and a 22-miler. Originally, the 42-miler was scheduled to be a 100K (62-miles), but the day before race organizers decided to shorten the course. In a fun side note: NBA Hall of Famer, Reggie Miller, raced the longer distance and said it was a very brutal course and was happy they shortened the distance.

In addition to the mountain bike race, Life Time held their inaugural trail running race with a 50K and 15K on Sunday. The longer mountain bike and run distances served as qualifiers for the Leadville 100. Congratulations to the top-3 in each distance and discipline:

Male MTB 42-Miler

Female MTB 42-Miler

Male MTB 22-Miler

Female MTB 22-Miler

Male 50K Run

Female 50K Run
