The Lake Tahoe Marathon is a fall event that takes place in and around the area, offering a variety of choices for partaking in the event. In addition to the marathon, the 20 miler, and the half marathon, there is so much more that goes on during this five day event in Lake Tahoe that you can even make it a family vacation destination that everyone will enjoy. Every one who finishes the race gets a medal, no matter which race they're in, and all contestants are given a long sleeve wind shirt that isn't covered in logos and sponsor ads.
Race watchers will find plenty of beer and hot dogs to keep them entertained while the racers are away, and probably the best part is that all finishers will get to cross the finish line on one of the most attractive beaches in the entire Tahoe basin area.
The 10K offers a spectacular downhill run, and the 5K allows you to loop around Valhalla, which begins and finishes at the finish line. There is also a 3-day triathlon, a triple marathon, and the 72 mile ultra marathon, all for your choosing pleasure. You can bike, kayak, swim, run, or walk in this event, depending on the events that you sign up for. It doesn't matter if you're a professional marathon runner or if you're just looking for a fun trip to enjoy some beautiful scenery and an adventurous event with millions of other people. The Lake Tahoe Marathon has something for everyone.
The marathon runs for five days, and is not an event for which you can just show up and leave. You'll be easily pulled into the crowd and intrigued by all of the events so that you will want to stay until the party is over. With speed golf, kayaking clinics, dinner buffets, and kids' activities, there is plenty going on at the Lake Tahoe marathon to keep you and your family busy for the entire time that you're here.
You'll also enjoy a sunset pasta cruise, finish line brunch, spectator buses to transport onlookers around the lake, and a guided tour around the lake and the race courses. All visitors are welcome to come early and check out the courses and the events before they begin, and children are welcome to attend, as there is plenty of child-friendly activity taking place. All in all, whether you want a good marathon to run or just a fun trip, the Lake Tahoe marathon can offer exactly what you need.
