Lovell Canyon Road at Highway 160, Las Vegas NV
Saturday, June 28th, 2025
Back by popular demand, and reincarnated in 2016 at a new venue to bring you a new challenge! Pure Mojave Desert running at its finest! Come join us on this PAVED and scenic course which covers rolling terrain.
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.
Still an extreme heat race, expect daytime highs ~95-100 degrees and overnight lows ~75. On course provisions will help keep you cool!
This running festival offers something for everyone! We offer the chance to run two events without the headache of travel in between! There are many options:
NOTE: There are two 10Ks and two 5Ks at this race! One on Saturday morning at 8 am and one on Saturday at 12 pm NOON. Both are exactly the same course. This is to provide runners the opportunity to run back-to-back events. Age group awards will only be included on Saturday morning for these distances. Please pay attention to the different start times when you register!
*Start/Finish Line: Lovell Canyon Road and Highway 160 Junction, just ~30 minutes drive from the Strip.
*This event is held on the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area, Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, under a special use permit.
