Arguably the most beautiful marathon in the world, the Lake Tahoe Marathon has grown into a premier, 3-day running festival, attracting thousands of athletes and visitors each year.

Athletes will start in Tahoe City on the North Shore and they will wind their way along the West Shore of beautiful Lake Tahoe. The route includes the world-famous Emerald Bay with views of Vikingsholm Castle and Fanette Island, as well as a trek through the historical sites of Valhalla and Camp Richardson with a beachfront finish at Pope Beach in South Lake Tahoe. The half-marathon event will begin at Rubicon Bay and includes the same picturesque route.
