Race Details

The Las Vegas Backcountry Trail Races take place in the Rainbow Gardens ACEC (Area of Critical Environmental Concern).

Rainbow Gardens ACEC contains a scenic mountain and canyon landscape similar to those found in more remote locations of southern Nevada, but unique in its close proximity to the city, allowing people a wilderness experience close to home.

Terrain is mostly packed dirt roads, making for an easy transition for pavement runners.

"Fastest trail marathon or 50k in Las Vegas" (about: 2015)

50+ previous marathons | 1 Las Vegas Backcountry Trail Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 1

I ran the 50K which included 25 miles of the marathon. The course is mostly packed dirt road and very runnable. I have run other races by this company, all well organized with a smallish (20-40 runners per distance) field. 1 star for spectators since the course is in the backcountry. 5 stars for scenery. The volunteers were great as were the aid stations. Bring a water bottle.
