\\SHUTTLE SERVICE
Runners can relax race morning knowing they will get to the starting line on time with our shuttle service! Shuttles will leave directly from the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and drop off at the starting line. Racer Drop Bags will also be available for runners to check in items they do not want on the course, and bags will be available for pickup at the finish line.

6:15 a.m. SHUTTLE (8am start time)
7:00 a.m. SHUTTLE (8am start time)
Shuttle signups will be at the expo.
If you have friends/family that want to watch the start, unfortunately, there is no parking available at the start due to construction. Spectators cannot ride the shuttle. There is one lane of the southbound highway that is open, so spectators will be able to drive back to South Lake Tahoe after dropping off at the start. Spectators will not be allowed to stop on the race course. The best place for them to cheer you on is at the finish line.
