Lake Tahoe Marathon Events

About the Event

Experience the unparalleled beauty and challenge of the Lake Tahoe Marathon Weekend, spanning three action-packed days from Friday through Sunday. This unique race series offers something for every level of runner, with distances ranging from 5Ks to an awe-inspiring 72-mile Ultramarathon.
On Friday, lace up your shoes for a thrilling 10K or one of the Half Marathons that will take you through the scenic trails and stunning vistas around Lake Tahoe. Saturday brings runners two options: complete three full Marathons in as many days (the Tahoe Triple) to push your limits, or tackle the Tahoe Trifecta by running three Half Marathons for a more moderate challenge.
Looking for variety? Sign up for the Tahoe Mountain Medley and run one Marathon on Friday, a Half Marathon on Saturday, and a 10K on Sunday. This dynamic mix of distances ensures you'll enjoy diverse landscapes and terrains throughout your weekend adventure.
For those seeking an even greater test, register for the 72-mile Ultramarathon that circles Lake Tahoe from Saturday night into Sunday morning. Alternatively, join forces with friends to form part of a four-person relay team, each taking on segments of any chosen distance as you collectively complete this monumental journey around the lake's perimeter.
The weekend culminates at Lakeside Beach in South Lake Tahoe, where all races converge for an exhilarating finish under the setting sun. Special discounts are available for those who wish to participate fully or partially:
