B4BC’s Skate the Lake is July 25–26, 2026—an on-wheels fundraiser along Tahoe’s shoreline with community celebration, prizes, and mission-driven energy.
Event details
Roll the Shoreline for Breast Cancer Awareness
On July 25-26, 2026, skateboarders, longboarders, cyclists, rollerbladers, and anyone with wheels join Boarding for Breast Cancer’s signature fundraiser—Skate the Lake—where participants roll portions of Lake Tahoe’s 72-mile shoreline to raise money for breast cancer prevention, education, and survivorship programs. The event typically covers 20-30 miles of scenic lakeside road on the North Shore, with waves of participants starting in the early morning and finishing by early afternoon. Support vehicles, aid stations, and community cheering sections line the route, while the finish area hosts live music, food vendors, prize raffles, and the kind of celebratory energy that comes from combining a worthy cause with a beautiful summer day in Tahoe.
Who Should Go
Longboarders and skateboarders with endurance experience will tackle the full route, while recreational cyclists, rollerbladers, and casual boarders can participate in shorter segments. Families often join for partial routes or volunteer at aid stations. This isn’t a race—it’s a community ride where everyone moves at their own pace, stops for photos, and celebrates together at the finish. If you’ve been affected by breast cancer or simply want to support the cause while experiencing Tahoe, this is a powerful way to do both.
Event Logistics
• Start times typically run 7:30-9 AM; check the event schedule for wave assignments
• Registration includes fundraising minimums (usually $100-150 per participant); early registration offers lower rates

• Aid stations every 5-7 miles offer water, snacks, and medical support

Make It a Weekend
After the ride, recover with lunch at Sunnyside Restaurant & Lodge (open since 1950, serving lakeside dining with deck seating right on the water). Spend the afternoon swimming at Kings Beach or simply sitting on a dock, watching boats pass while your legs recover. For accommodations, book through Lake.com and look for North Shore properties with easy parking for your board, bike, or gear—you’ll want space to spread out after a long morning on wheels.
