Lake Tahoe’s 13th annual marathon will take place on Sunday, September, 28, 2008. This is a popular event that draws many people to the shores of Lake Tahoe. There are many related events taking place over a five-day period such as the Historic Fun Run, 72 Mile Cycle around Lake Tahoe, Optimist Kids Fun Run, the Midnight Tahoe 72 Mile Ultramarathon 20 Mile Power Walk and 3-Day Triple Marathon just to name a few. You will find many events for families of all ages.
The regular marathon and 5k marathon begin at 8:30 a.m. and the 10K at 9 a.m. on Sunday, September 28. The marathon starts at the Commons Beach in Tahoe City and finishes on Pope Beach near South Lake Tahoe. The 10K begins at Inspiration Point over looking breathtaking Emerald Bay. Runners are diverted around the shores of beautiful Lake Tahoe, where they are challenged not only by the hills, but the elevation as well. It is truly an event for those who have a passion for running and a love for the great outdoors.
