Thousands of athletes are competing in Ironman Lake Tahoe this Sunday. The event involves a 2.4 mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride, and a marathon. Approximately 3,100 athletes will be racing through Lake Tahoe for the Ironman event. If you are in Tahoe City during the biking portion of the race there will be a viewing party at Fat Cat Bar & Grill.
Due to smoke from the King Fire, Ironman organizers said they are relying on the National Weather Service’s prediction that smoke in the Lake Tahoe region will clear out by this weekend. Officials said as of now, no changes are expected, but said they will have to wait until race day to know for sure.
There will be some traffic restrictions on race day, see the info below for details.
