City insight: Henderson
In Clark County, Nevada, Henderson lies about 16 miles southeast of Las Vegas and is the state's second most populous city. It was incorporated in 1953 and has over 220 miles of trails and 72 parks. The desert climate brings scorching summers and mild winters, so the cooler months from October to April are the best time to race.
