Multiply Events and Three Days of Fun You will Never Forget!

While various events run all week long, the Lake Tahoe Marathon itself starts Sunday in Homewood and finishes on Lakeside Beach in South Lake Tahoe. On Friday and Saturday, you can run two other marathons or half marathons each day; the Nevada Half Marathon  & the Lakeside  Marathon on Friday, and the Cal-Neva Marathon & Carnelian Bay  Half Marathon on Saturday. Run them a la carte or with the Tahoe Triple Marathoners or Tahoe Trifecta Half Marathoners. 

 

Our three half marathons are downhill races!

 

If you are tough enough, try our 72 Mile Midnight Express Ultra Marathon, or our 3-Day Tahoe Triple Marathon. The Tahoe 72 Mile Ultra is one lap around Lake Tahoe starting at 9 PM and finishing with the regular marathon, while the Tahoe Triple will measure your heart and desire with 3 different marathons in 3 days run on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and covering the whole lake and 2 states. Are you tough enough?

 

And if you are one of the toughest people in the world try our SUPER TRIPLE MARATHON, which is the first two marathons of the Triple, then instead of going to bed on Saturday, running the 72 mile Midnight Express. We also offer the Tahoe Double Dare (2 x 72.2), the Tahoe Triple Dare (3 x 72.2) or the Quadzilla Dare (4 x 72.2 on a request basis, for those hearty runners, with each 72.2 mile ultra marathon lapping the entire lake. 

 

With the exception of the Super Hero 5K Pumpkin Run-Walk and the Edgewood 10K races, all the runs are point-to-point and scenic from start to finish. The Sunday Lake Tahoe Marathon,  and Half are run along the west shore of Lake Tahoe and include challenging hills around spectacular Emerald Bay. The Emerald Bay Half Marathon begins at Inspiration Point overlooking Emerald Bay, with a very scenic 99% downhill run. The beauty of Lake Tahoe will take your breath away!

 

Finishers medals are given to all finishers of all races at the finish lines, and finishers shirts. 

 

We are Walker and Tune Friendly!!
