Long known as a premier outdoor haven, North Lake Tahoe will again highlight its famed natural terrain to host the Annual Adventure Sports Week Tahoe Friday, June 21 through Sunday, June 30.

“Adventure Sports Week Tahoe invites outdoor enthusiasts to take part in all things human powered,” said Chief Marketing Officer Andy Chapman of the North Lake Tahoe Chamber/CVB/Resort Association, a sponsor of the event. “With competitive events ranging from stand up paddle boarding to trail running, mountain biking, triathlons and swimming – all of which highlight Tahoe’s scenic beauty.”

What's Adventure Sports Week?
Adventure Sports Week Lake Tahoe is billed as Lake Tahoe's premier outdoor lifestyle festival, and for good reason. It includes numerous competitive events for those who like to get their heart pumping and also tons of other ways to enjoy Tahoe.

• Competitions
• Clinics & Demos
• Music & Films
• Festivals & Parties
• Family Activities

 According to Event Director Todd Jackson of Adventure Sports Week Tahoe, in addition to the sporting events designed for the beginner to the professional, the ten days of festivities will also include clinics hosted by world-class athletes and Lake Tahoe locals who know area trails and activities firsthand. Each night of Adventure Sports Week Tahoe will wrap up with a variety of activities, including live concerts, outdoor movies and dinner on the lake. There’s even a kid-friendly component with fun and games geared for little ones.

“Adventure Sports Week Tahoe is for those who appreciate clean air, clear water, scenic single track and an elevated heart rate,” said Jackson. “We live in one of the world’s top outdoor playgrounds and it’s time to celebrate our passion for adventure.”
