Lake Tahoe Marathon Events

The Lake Tahoe Marathon weekend spans three days of races in two states, based at Meadow Road in Homewood, California, with Sunday finishes at Lakeside Beach in South Lake Tahoe. The program offers a mix of road and long-distance events around Lake Tahoe.

Distances and event types include:

  • 5K (two races)
  • 10K
  • Half Marathon (three races)
  • Marathon (three races)
  • 72 mile Ultramarathon (full circuit around Lake Tahoe)
  • 4-person Ultra Relay (teams share the full circuit)

Participants may enter single races or multi-day challenges. Notable multi-day options listed are the Tahoe Triple (three Marathons in three days), the Tahoe Trifecta (three Half Marathons in three days), and the Tahoe Mountain Medley (a Marathon, a Half Marathon, and a 10K across the three days).

The 72 mile Ultramarathon circumnavigates Lake Tahoe; it begins Saturday night and finishes with the other weekend races. Relay teams of four divide the route and may allocate segments as they choose.

Several limited-time discounts are described: up to 20% for three-day challenges applied at checkout; Family and Friends discounts of 15% for three or more registrants and 10% for two registrants; a 10% senior discount for ages 60 and over; and a 20% youth discount for participants under 18. A 10% discount option is available for two-day registrations via an organizer code. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
