Riders continue on past Marlette Lake and down a rocky and fast Tahoe Rim Trail. The views are breathtaking! Both the Duathlon and the Sprint will complete the 22 mile bike with approximately 4000 feet of climbing. The 10K trail running course that is relatively flat, fast and scenic with tall pines, aspens, and creek crossings.
