Formerly known as the Running From an Angel Marathon & Half Marathon, the newly renamed Lake Mead Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K & 5K takes runners on an out-and-back course along the shoreline of the world’s largest man-made lake.
Run around the western (Nevada) side of Lake Mead National Recreation Area, the race features a starting and finish line area that’s just minutes from the Hoover Dam, the 726-ft. high marvel of engineering that created the more than 150-square-mile lake from which the park takes its name.
