Course
The point-to-point course starts south of Homewood and travels toward South Lake Tahoe, with forest, lake overlooks, and substantial elevation change. It finishes at Lakeside Beach.

October at Tahoe can bring freezing morning air, strong sun, wind, rain, or early snow. High altitude magnifies both cold and dehydration.
