Right on the heels of the Tour de Tahoe Bike Race around the lake, the Lake Tahoe Marathon has begun Race Week.
On Friday, racers competed in the Emerald Bay Full and Half Marathons. There are 10 different races on Saturday: The Cal Neva Marathon, the Tahoe Nevada Half Marathon, a 5 mile Kayak Race, two and five mile Stand Up Paddle Races, Swim Races, Duathlon, Kids Fun Run, Super Hero 5k, 72 mile Loop the Lake Ultra Race and the Tahoe Double Marathon.
If that weren't enough action, Sunday is the main event plus 10k and 20 mile races.
Sunday's Marathon takes racers from Tahoe City to Pope Beach, 26 miles south. Drivers can expect traffic delays in areas of the races.
A full schedule is on their website.
