ABOUT LAKESIDE MARATHON TRAINING PLANS
The Lakeside Marathon is an annual event that has runners skirt along some of the most beautiful sections of Lake Tahoe, on the California Nevada border. One of three races in the "Tahoe Triple" some runners will run the entire perimeter of lake Tahoe in the course of three days.
The race takes place on a Sunday in early October, arguably the best time to visit Lake Tahoe when the crowds are lighter, the weather is cool and the fall colors are out. The Lakeside Marathon course starts in California at Lakeside Beach at 6230′ and goes up to 7000′ at Spooner Summit and back down to near lake level at 6300′ and finishes in Nevada at Incline Village. 99% of the race is in Nevada.
If you are really feeling up for a challenge, on Saturday and Sunday, you can run two other marathons or half marathons each day; and the Cal-Neva Marathon & Carnelian Bay Half Marathon on Saturday and the Lake Tahoe Marathon & Emerald Bay Half Marathon on Sunday. Regardless, you should make a weekend out of it with activities and attractions plentiful in the Lake Tahoe region.
Given the mountainous nature of the course and the temptation of other races on race weekend, a custom training plan can help you succeed and hit your goals for the Lakeside Marathon.

Our method
-
With the expertise of USATF certified coaches and physical therapists, we built an advanced model to weigh the effects of runner-specific variables on training outcomes.
-
We analyzed unique characteristics of hundreds of races across the country to build a “race profile” into our model that accounts for elevation gain, altitude, time of year, and more.
-
Our model generates a unique training plan for you and your race, and all plans are reviewed by a coach and hand-tweaked before they make their way to you.
