Hoover Dam Marathon, 1/2, 10K, 5K

The desert landscape of Southern Nevada — combined with majestic views of one of the most awe-inspiring man-made structures anywhere in the world, the Hoover Dam — are both on display at the annual late October running of Boulder City’s Hoover Dam Marathon, Half Marathon & 10K, which is part of a series of running events staged throughout the year by Calico Racing, a Las Vegas-based race company.

This stunning course promises to quickly become one of the Nation’s “Must Do” races. Running 100% on paved and packed dirt trails completely removed from vehicular traffic, you’ll traverse the Mojave Desert running thru historic railroad tunnels perched atop of a sweet view of Lake Mead. The “Money Shot” comes at your turn around with an expansive view of Hoover Dam & the newly completed Bypass Bridge. No need to “stop and glance”- you get a great view without breaking your stride.

This course is just stunning in more ways than one! The December desert-temperatures and views of Lake Mead make this run a must-do!
