Gear up for an unforgettable adventure with your friends at the Lake Tahoe Relay Team Challenge!
Held annually in June, this legendary event offers stunning scenery, crystal-clear water, and an exhilarating test of teamwork on the shores of Lake Tahoe.
Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or a weekend warrior craving a shared challenge, the Lake Tahoe Relay promises an experience like no other.
For Everyone
Not everyone has to be a seasoned athlete to find their stride in this relay.
One participant affirms, “I’m not a seasoned runner, but the 7-person Relay felt achievable with my supportive team. We cheered each other on, and the sense of accomplishment was amazing.”
This inclusivity is exactly what another participant celebrates, stating, “This race is perfect for all levels, whether you’re a competitive runner or just looking for a fun challenge with friends. The different team options ensure everyone can find their perfect fit.”
The relay consists of a series of running and is open to teams of seven people.
This is an excellent opportunity to have a friendly competition with other teams in the country while also enjoying the magnificent scenery of Lake Tahoe.
Each course for the Tahoe Relay team takes approximately 8 to 12 miles running around the Lake.
The race will start at 5 am and last until 8 pm, at which point the course will be closed.
Tip: Get up to the lake a few days before you plan to run at a high altitude. Your body is likely used to a lot more oxygen than you’ll have access to here.
With these stretches/legs of the race, you and your friends will surely enjoy the run and scenic views.
You’ll have plenty of time to take in all the sights and sounds of Lake Tahoe as you make your way around the course with your team.

Relay Team Challenge -Back after 2 years!
After two years of hiatus, the annual relay event is back to test each team’s cooperation and camaraderie last 2023.
This iconic event isn’t just about individual speed; it’s about collaborating with your team – whether seven strong in the classic Relay format or as a duo in the two-person Relay – to conquer the course within the allotted time.
The marathon for one person is an individual race, while the two-person relay is a team event where runners take turns completing sections of the course.
One participant echoes the thrill of conquering the course as a duo, saying, “I loved the two-person Relay option! It was the perfect challenge for my friend and me, and the feeling of crossing the finish line together was unbeatable.”
The Lake Tahoe Relay was held last June 23, 2023 and will be held on June 8, 2024 again. It’s another year of fun and challenging day in Tahoe!
The race begins at Spooner Lake, situated in the stunning Sierra Nevada mountains, and finishes at Kings Beach on the shores of Lake Tahoe.
With such spectacular scenery, this race is sure to be a memorable experience for all who participate.
