The Rock Tahoe Half Marathon is Lake Tahoe's premier running event — and the motto says it all: "RUN. ROCK. RECOVER." On Sunday, June 14, 2026, starting waves kick off at 7:30am PDT at Spooner Summit at 7,000 feet of elevation on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe. This is a point-to-point, net-downhill course dropping roughly 800 feet over 13.1 miles — along Highway 50, hugging the breathtaking East Shore of Lake Tahoe, where granite boulders meet turquoise water and Sierra Nevada pines line the road. Around mile 10, runners peel off the highway onto a peaceful bike path winding through Nevada Beach and Rabe Meadows before the final stretch to the finish line at the Golden Nugget Lake Tahoe Hotel & Casino. The legendary champagne station at mile 9 has become a signature moment of the race. Post-race: pool party, live music by RUNMC Mark Jones, and celebrations at the Golden Nugget's front patio.
