The Half course is a single loop of the 50k course minus the Outer Calder section. You’ll start the race on a jeep road to connect with Girl Scout for an initial climb up to the Caldera Aid Station (Mid Parking Lot). From here you’ll be sent back down East Leg where you’ll connect with Lower Lake View that will run you toward Lake Mead before turning left and heading north up the River Mountain Trail to connect with Skyline – probably the most scenic trail in Bootleg Canyon, with sweeping views of the Las Vegas valley and the surrounding mountains – to once again connect with the Caldera Aid Station. From here you’ll egress the aid station by heading southwest down West Leg, up and over the connector to Mother before finally connecting with POW and following a fast descent into Veterans Aid Station. You will egress the Veterans Aid by heading back up the way you came until reaching the River Mountain Trail, where you’ll turn right and continue east toward Blade-runner. A slight left will connect you to Blade-runner where you’ll climb back up to Mother. Once you reach the top of Blade-runner you’ll make a right on Mother and make your way back toward the jeep trail you started the race on. When you reach the jeep trail, you’ll make a right and race to the finish! Grab and a beer and relax! You’ve earned it.
