The 31st Lake Tahoe Marathon weekend of events
October 16-18, 2026
The 4-Person 72 Mile Ultra Relay

The 4-Person 72 Mile Ultra Relay runs around Lake Tahoe and starts Saturday night at 9 PM with the 72 Mile Ultra runners.
Each team will share a car and drop off each runner at the start of their leg. Each leg is 9 miles long as measured by the vehicle's odometer or your GPS.
However, each leg can be run longer or shorter. The only rule is that runners must run in the same order, like a baseball lineup.
For 4 people: Eight legs, with each leg plus or minus 9 miles.
For teams with 2 or 3 runners: Just alternate turns in order.
Can we run with only two or three runners? Yes, just run in the same order, with each runner doing two legs.
The race starts at 9 PM under the Golden Nugget Hotel sign on H50 by the valet parking entrance.
See the 72-Mile Ultra for more information and the orientation meeting time.
