SO Dissapointed. I had such high hopes for this marathon but it turned out to be the worst marathon i have ran thus far. So lets go over the pro vs cons FYI this is for the LAKESIDE marathon portion of this race weekend
Pro:
1. Free Race Photos printed off. It was the coolest race photo ever taken it could be on runners world ....good job
2. It was at Lake Tahoe some of the views were very pretty

Con:
1. Running with no shoulder and 60mph trucks coming at you the entire way. Litterally you could touch them. if older people were in this race i would be affraid they could get swept off their feet into oncoming traffic

2. Race was short per my watch by alot and no mile markers on the last part of the race that i could remember

3. Horrible Swag i mean it was out of the 90s shirt and duffle bag
4. EXPO was at a bar and you got a bib thats it
5. THE COURSE MAP IS BACKWARDS ...they had the GREEN arrow as the finish and the RED square the start. I booked the AirB&B at the start and almost went to the finish the morning of the race. luckily i heard someone talking about the start being around the corner as i was walking out of the bar/expo......i had to arrange a ride last min to the start this was a huge inconvenience. the people at the expo were like " yeah you count down the miles " I have never seen this.

6. Race Director emails way too much prior to race.

Hands down worst race i have ever run.
