Revel Reno Tahoe Marathon

Revel Reno Tahoe Marathon takes place on May 16, 2027, near Nevada City, California. Three distances are offered: the marathon (26.2 mi), announced with 100 metres of climbing, the half marathon (13.1 mi) and a 10K (6.2 mi), on a descending course through the mountains.

A course built to run downhill is the fastest kind there is and the most demanding on the body: gravity does the work your legs would otherwise do, and the bill arrives as muscle damage rather than as breathlessness. Three or four progressively longer downhill runs in the six weeks before are what make the difference between a personal best and a painful last hour — and start conservatively, because the early miles feel free.
