Overview
Course Description
Where does the race start? In Hidden Falls Park just south of Henderson, which itself lies just a short drive from nearby Las Vegas. The 18-acre park lies just behind a shopping center on one side and hills and trails on the other side, where you’ll find the trailhead for the Armagosa Trail.
What’s the course like? Organizers say there’s plenty of single-track technical trails, which start running uphill right after you leave the starting line on the back side of the park. There’s plentiful views of the mountains and hills all around, the gorgeous rock formations that this region is known for, and lots of rocky, desert terrain shown in the photos below.
The difference in the race elevation at its lowest and highest points is some 500 feet, so you’ll experience lots of climbing and descending as you run through the hills of Sloan Canyon, along the Armagosa Trail and Heart of Henderson Loop.
You’ll even be able to see the Las Vegas Strip in the distance from many points on the trail, organizers say.
Where can I stay overnight before the race? Organizers note that lodging is available at the nearby Red Rock Resort, Green Valley Ranch and Sunset Station. Special race rates are available; check the race website for more information.
