Race Info
The Cal-Neva Marathon is a point-to-point race held each October as part of the Lake Tahoe Marathon weekend, crossing the state line so the same 26.2 miles can be counted for either Nevada or California toward a 50-states goal. It starts at the Spooner Summit Snow Play Area near 7,000 feet on the Nevada shore, runs counterclockwise past Incline Village's Billionaire Row, and finishes about 800 feet lower at Commons Beach in Tahoe City, California. The Incline Half Marathon joins the course for its second half and shares the same finish line. The 2024 edition was canceled after Caltrans closed the route, and the race returned in 2025 with an expanded field.
