The 31st Lake Tahoe Marathon weekend of events

The Tahoe Triple Marathon

 

Friday-Sunday

 

The 26th Tahoe Triple Marathon (3 x 26.2) is 3 marathons for 3 consecutive days, in two states, finishing with the regular Lake Tahoe Marathon and festivities. This challenging multi-day run at altitude circumnavigates the 72-mile shoreline of Lake Tahoe, plus an additional 6-mile overlap. The 3 courses include the Lakeside  Marathon  on Friday, the Cal-Neva Marathon  on Saturday, and the Lake Tahoe Marathon on Sunday. You may run any of these races a la carte.

 

The time limit on Friday and Saturday is 6 hours. We can arrange an early start for slower anticipated finishers. The event is limited to 200 runners.

 

Each morning, you will be transported from near the Golden Nugget Hotel to that day's start line, near where you finished the day before. 

• Transportation is NOT included on Friday or Saturday. If you do not have a ride, you should buy a round trip on the charter bus when you register.

• Sunday shuttles are included in your fee.

Hopefully you will have a support vehicle to take you.  If you come alone without support, you will need to get tickets for the charter bus for Friday & Saturday. Sunday, you will end up at Lakeside Beach.
