A support crew is strongly suggested for your transportation needs, encouragement, nutrition and picture taking. The Lakeside Marathon course starts in California at Lakeside Beach at 6230' and goes up to 7000' at Spooner Summit and back down  to near  lake level at 6300' and finishes in Nevada at Incline Village. There will be at least six Aid Stations along the marathon route, approximately every 4 miles. Our mile markers read "miles to go".

You should use a headlamp for the first hour of the race and safety flashers. Drop off headlights at the first aid station and you can retrieve at the finish line.
