XTERRA Lake Tahoe 5K & 10K Trail Run

The XTERRA Lake Tahoe trail runs start and finish at the Village Green in Incline Village, NV, a large open grass community field used as the event venue. From the starting area the course heads north onto the local trail system and passes through tall pines and aspens and includes creek crossings. The 5K is one lap of the course; the 10K is two laps, with the second lap returning through the venue to create a viewing area for spectators. The run is produced in conjunction with the XTERRA Lake Tahoe triathlon.

Organizers have announced that the event was not scheduled for 2025. Nevada State Parks and Nevada Public Works determined that several trails in the Spooner Backcountry will be closed for the season because of the Marlette Lake Dam Resilient Infrastructure Project, and organizers explored rerouting options. The event is expected to return in 2026.
