Rock Tahoe Half Marathon

From the starting line at Spooner Summit, where Highways 50 and 28 meet, the race heads south mostly along Highway 50, unfolding through places like Logan Shoals and Cave Rock, where you’ll be surrounded by towering pine trees as you make your way south. There’s also a stretch that begins around mile 10 that takes runners off the highway and onto the bike path between Round Hill and Stateline, which will take you through the historic Round Hill Pines as well as past Nevada Beach and Rabe Meadows, a stretch that runs alongside Burke Creek in Nevada Beach State Park, and known for its peaceful, tranquil scenery. Runners make their way south all the way into Stateline, where they’ll cross the finish line in the parking lot of the Hard Rock Cafe Hotel. There will be two starting times — the first at 7:00 AM, for those who want to walk the race and runners who feel it will take them more than 3 hours to finish their 13.1 miles; there’s also an 8:00 AM start for runners who plan to finish in less than 3 hours.
