The Emerald Bay Marathon
Friday Sept 24, 2010
The Cal-Neva Marathon  
Saturday September 25, 2010


as of August 11, 2010

In response to  runners who wanted to do two marathons and a bike ride we have added two a la carte options on  Friday & Saturday. Or for other reasons can not run on Sunday we allow a la carte runners for the Friday or Saturday marathons.

The Friday Emerald Bay Marathon is from Emerald Bay to Spooner Lake-Hwy 28 to Incline Village intersection area. There is no lodging near or at the start area except for an 11 or so camp spaces across the street from the  start area. First half is California and the second half is in Nevada.

The Saturday Cal-Neva Marathon is the fastest of the 3 marathons with the first 11 mile basically down hill. First half of the Marathon is in Nevada and the second half is in California.

The Friday and Saturday Marathons are each run basically half in CA and half in NV. Either of these races can be counted for either state in your quest to run all 50 states.

You will running either of these two marathon with the  Triple Marathoners . There is a different finishers medals for each day, finishers license plate holders and wind shirts will be awarded just like the regular marathon on Sunday. No age division or other  awards will be given.

Like the Triple Marathoners, the Friday and Saturday Marathons will require you  to provide a support vehicle for yourself or to team with other runners to provide for your running needs. Only a few fixed aid stations are provided to the 125 to 150 of you, along with some roving aid stations.

So now you can do a marathon on Friday, Bike on Saturday, and do another running event, including a relay on Sunday. Mix and match whatever interests you.

For both all 3 marathons shuttle buses will leave from the Horizon Resort Casino Race morning to the start lines. You will need to arrange your own transportation after the run.

A la carte Marathoners are invited to the Triple Marathon dinner on Thursday night. But dinner is not included. Pay at the door or just come in and listen.
