Course Description: Breaking News! Entire course has been newly paved and/or graded. We run to the Hoover Dam overlook. Tired of the same old races? Then try something really different. Run is out and back on old railroad track long since removed and now part of the Rail-to-Trails Conservancy and the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. We run right above Lake Mead for entire event for some bodacious views. Route is on newly packed (50%) and paved trails (50%). No steep climbs here, but there are gradual "grades" (3.2%) used in the hauling of supplies to Hoover Dam during the early thirties. Entire elevation gain is only 592 feet. On the way to Hoover Dam, the runner passes through six (6) tunnels on this course in each direction. Turnaround is located just up from the police station. Aid stations are every 1.6 miles with water and HEED Endurance. A GUARANTEED SMOOTH course with ONE LAP ONLY. This is a spectator friendly event, so please bring your family. There is no vehicular traffic on this course, so you may take as long as you want to finish this event. No baby strollers nor animals are allowed on the course during event. Check out: Trail History Location: 18 miles from Las Vegas in Boulder City NV. Four miles north of the Hoover Dam on Hwy 93 (at the exact 4 mile post) on the property of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Turn on Lakeshore Drive at the Alan Bible Visitor Center.
