Race Info
The Emerald Bay Half Marathon is a point-to-point race down the west shore of Lake Tahoe, held on the Sunday of race weekend. It starts just south of the Inspiration Point parking lot high above Emerald Bay and runs about 99 percent downhill. The course crosses Taylor Creek Bridge, where Kokanee salmon spawn in the fall, passes Camp Richardson and winds through Tahoe Keys on bike paths. It finishes at Lakeside Beach in South Lake Tahoe.
