Starting at Heavenly Village in South Lake Tahoe, this scenic point-to-point course climbs through the Sierra Nevada foothills with spectacular alpine lake views. Runners traverse forest sections and residential areas with significant elevation changes, finishing near the iconic Lake Tahoe shoreline. The high-altitude terrain (starting at 6,220 feet) presents a challenging but rewarding experience.
Crisp fall weather with cool mornings and mild afternoons. Light rain possible but generally dry. Low humidity and excellent visibility make for comfortable running conditions.
The Race
South Lake Tahoe
The Lake Tahoe Marathon was founded in 1981, during the golden age of mass-participation running. Now 45 years old, it has established itself as a beloved fixture in South Lake Tahoe, growing from its early editions into a race with genuine character and loyal following.
The fastest time ever recorded at the Lake Tahoe Marathon is 02:31:28, set by Joe Fejes in 2019. Every year, new contenders line up hoping to challenge that mark on the streets of South Lake Tahoe.
With 1585m of elevation gain, the Lake Tahoe Marathon is not a course for the faint-hearted. The climbs are where races are won and lost — where the gap between training and undertrained reveals itself without mercy. Locals say the course doesn't beat you; it just waits for you to beat yourself.
