About the race
Distances include a 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, Marathon or 50K road course. Commencing at an elevation of roughly 4500 feet, runners will experience high desert vegetation to include Joshua Trees, Pinion-Juniper, Mountain Rose, Sagebrush, and a relatively lush Toiyabe National Forest not commonly associated with Las Vegas.
The road twists and turns thru the canyon; a true treasure of the Spring Mountains N.R.A. enjoying temperatures ~10 degrees cooler than the Las Vegas Valley.

Location
City insight: Las Vegas
Las Vegas is the largest city in Nevada, in a basin on the floor of the Mojave Desert, surrounded by mountain ranges and known for its resorts and the Strip. It has a hot desert climate: summers (June to September) are extremely hot, with a July average high of about 40 C, winters are short with mild days and cool nights, and the transitional seasons are warm. Autumn to spring is the best time to race, with abundant sunshine and very low humidity. Avoid summer, when daytime heat is severe and nights stay warm. Rain is scarce.
