Sand Harbor boat ramp closure Saturday morning for Trans-Tahoe race

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. – The boat ramp at Sand Harbor State Park will be closed from 6 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 15 to accommodate the Trans-Tahoe Relay Race. The swimmers will start their race at the beach located just south of the boat ramp at approximately 7 a.m.

The boat ramp will reopen for normal boater traffic at 8:30 a.m.

The Olympic Club Trans Tahoe Relay is one of the most unique open-water swimming events in the world. In 1976, Olympic Club Members decided to challenge each other to a team race across beautiful Lake Tahoe. Soon after, other clubs were invited to join this annual “Invitational Relay” event. Today, the Trans Tahoe Relay is seen as a landmark of open water events.

One of the things that make this race so special is the distinct natural beauty and stunningly blue water of Lake Tahoe. The Olympic Club and League to Save Lake Tahoe partner for this event to protect and preserve the Lake – so in 50 more years, the Trans Tahoe Relay will be just as special as it is today.

The race will finish at Skylandia Beach in Tahoe City.
