ABOUT CAL-NEVA MARATHON TRAINING PLANS
The Cal-Neva 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. Notably, the Cal-Neva is the fastest and flattest of the three marathons.
The race takes place on a Saturday 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 Cal-Neva Marathon course starts at Sand Harbor, Nevada, which is south of Incline Village, and ends near Meadow Road & H89 just south of Homewood, CA.
If you are really feeling up for a challenge, on Friday and Sunday, you can run two other marathons or half marathons each day; and the Lakeside Marathon & Nevada Half Marathon on Friday 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 elevation 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 Cal-Neva 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.
