Join us for this year’s Alpenglow 20k Race, historically one of the most competitive and scenic races hosted by Tahoe XC. Usually, we offer 20k, 10k, and 5k options; however, this year we are shifting our focus to only hosting a 20k option. But don’t worry, you have 4 days to complete it. (Please only ski during the operating hours of 8:30am-5:00pm, and don’t actually take 4 days to ski 20 kilometers.)
Race Details
You have 4 days to complete your fastest time on our Alpenglow 20k Race Course. You can ski the course as many times as you’d like between Feb 19-22.
For times to be counted, you must be a registered participant with Tahoe XC. After registering, you can pick up the race course map and sign a waiver, in person the days of the race, at our outside ticket window during the 4 days of the race. You can also print and sign our waiver in advance: (English waiver or Spanish waiver). The map will only be available in person the days of the race.
This is a freestyle race, with a women’s and men’s division (no age divisions). Classic and skate skiing is allowed; snowshoeing is not permitted at this race. The top 3 registered men and top 3 registered women will be awarded a prize from Alpenglow Sports!
