California > Cal-Neva Half Marathon & Nevada Half Marathon
Lake Tahoe, CA • Saturday, January 28, 2012 • Course Map
The title of the race says it all at Lake Tahoe's Cal-Neva Marathon and Nevada Half Marathon, which features a course that takes runners along the winding roads that surround the lake through parts of both California and Nevada, along a challening course with plenty of gorgeous natural beauty.
This year, the marathon takes place on Saturday, September 29 and is the fastest of the three races ran during the weekend event known as the "Tahoe Trifecta." Starting off, runners will begin at a parking lot located at the H50 & H28 intersection. Here runners will be surrounded by open road and plenty of trees. With a cool wind blowing, this will be a crisp yet great environment to start off a unique race.
Once the race begins, runners will head north down the Spooner Summit to Incline Village. Throughout the entirety of the race from Nevada to California, runners will have immaculate lake views of the breath-taking Lake Tahoe. Surrounded by green mountains and snow-covered peaks, the blue lake is bound to make for a serene, peaceful, and awe-inspiring marathon.
Runners will have six aid stations along the way provided water and nutrition. Since the race is mostly downhill, it is often leads runners to record faster finishing times.
