Set to take runners from the end of the scenic drive inside the park to the Red Rock Canyon Visitors Center, the National Nurses Half follows a point-to-point route in the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area just outside Las Vegas. The course, which starts in Blue Diamond Park and finishes at West Career & Technical Academy, is made of paved surfaces throughout, and takes runners past stunning sandstone rock formations, waterfalls and wildlife here in the desert.
